Spurs Player Ratings: Ryan Mason saves the day but wasteful Nacer Chadli disappoints again

Son Heung Min had a quiet debut

NEWS NEWS BLOG SPORT brings you Tottenham's player ratings from their match against Sunderland.

 

Lloris - Well beaten by Defoe and Rodwell but fortunate to see both shots hit the woodwork. Comfortable afternoon behind a strong defence - 6

Walker - Always susceptible defensively. Jeremain Lens gave him a tough afternoon - 5

Alderweireld - Forming a strong partnership with his Belgian colleague Toby Alderweireld. Kept Jermain Defoe quiet apart from his shot which hit the post - 7

Vertonghen - A leader in the Spurs defence. Rediscovered his form from two years ago - 8

Davies - Seems to be ahead of Danny Rose in the pecking order. Finally adjusting to life under Mauricio Pochettino - 7

 

Dier - Adapting to his new role in defensive midfield impressively but greater tests await - 8

Mason - Scored the all important goal with the game's only moment of genuine quality. Took a knock to his knee with the finish and had to be subbed off - 7

Chadli - Wasteful performance by the Belgian. Very few efforts on target and not enough end product - 5

Alli - A constant bright spark in the Spurs midfield. Always looking to be positive - 7

Son - Quiet debut for the South Korean. Taken off early in the second half - 5

Kane - Premier League goal drought continues. Badly missing Christian Eriksen's quality - 6
