Palhinha Gets 7, Van De Ven With 5 | Tottenham Hotspur Players Rated In Dismal Defeat Vs Crystal Palace | OneFootball

Tottenham Hotspur entertained Crystal Palace at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium earlier tonight as they hoped to earn a good result at home in the London derby. Spurs made a decent start to the game as they got their noses ahead in the 34th minute thanks to Dominic Solanke’s effort. However, Micky van de Ven was sent off by the referee just four minutes later.

Ismaila Sarr equalised from the penalty spot in the 40th minute. Jorgen Strand Larsen put the visitors ahead in injury time before Sarr scored again for the Eagles in the dying embers of the first half. Igor Tudor’s men were trailing 3-1 at the half-time break.

The home team failed to mount a comeback in the second half and crashed to a dismal 3-1 defeat in the London derby.

Let’s take a look at how each Tottenham player fared during the clash against the Eagles.

GK: Guglielmo Vicario – 5.5/10

Vicario made one good save at the back, but was far from convincing in goal for Spurs tonight.

CB: Joao Palhinha – 7/10

He did his fair share of defending and won a couple of aerial duels.

CB: Kevin Danso – 7/10

Danso gave a good account of himself defensively and was a strong presence in the air.

CB: Micky van de Ven – 5/10

He made a bright start to the game but let his teammates down by getting sent off in the 38th minute.

RM: Pedro Porro – 6.5/10

He came back to defend when he could and had a couple of lively moments going forward.

CM: Archie Gray – 7/10

Gray was a positive influence at both ends of the field and has got an assist to show for his efforts.

CM: Pape Matar Sarr – 6.5/10

He anchored the midfield well but offered very little in the final third.

LM: Souza – 6/10

Souza struggled to get a foothold in the game and was replaced in the 42nd minute.

RAM: Randal Kolo Muani – 6/10

He failed to impress during his time on the field and was substituted just before the half-time interval.

LAM: Mathys Tel – 6.5/10

Tel caused a few headaches for his marker but made a costly error at the back.

ST: Dominic Solanke – 7/10

He did well to score the opening goal in the 34th minute.

Substitutes:

CM: Yves Bissouma – 6/10

He failed to get into the rhythm of the game.

CM: Conor Gallagher – 6/10

His impact on the game was minimal.

CAM: Xavi Simons – 7/10

He was bright after coming off the bench.
