Tottenham were up against it throughout as RB Leipzig earned a big away win in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie.
Simon Collings was at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to run the rule over Jose Mourinho's side.
Hugo Lloris 7
Made a good save in the opening minute and carried on from there. Stayed big to deny Patrik Schick when he was clean through and ready to make it 2-0.
Serge Aurier 4
Often caught out of position and allowed Timo Werner to get plenty of joy out left for RB Leipzig.
Toby Alderweireld 6
Like his partner Sanchez he was kept busy all match, but held his own. Made a few vital blocks on more than one occasion.
Davinson Sanchez 6
Was kept busy all night but looked fairly solid. Managed to keep Schick quiet for most of the game.
Ben Davies 4
Did okay in the first half, but then clumsily brought down Konrad Laimer for Leipzig’s penalty just before the hour mark.
Harry Winks 6
Outshone by Lo Celso next to him but was solid. Worked tirelessly off the ball and made some vital blocks in the box.
Giovani Lo Celso 8
Tottenham’s best player. Passing was excellent and drove from midfield with the ball too. Had a dangerous free-kick tipped onto the post.
Gedson Fernandes 6
One of Tottenham’s more lively players. Got some joy down the right hand side and unlucky to be subbed off.
Dele Alli 5
Was starved of service all night and cut a frustrated figure. Missed a good chance in the first half from Gedson’s cross.
Steven Bergwijn 6
Had some flashes of brilliance, particularly in the first half when his turn and shot was well saved. Looked a threat.
Lucas Moura 5
Had a tough night playing against three centre-backs, particularly as the ball was often played over his head. Feeding off scraps.
Substitutes
- Erik Lamela, 5: Came on with 25 minutes to go and had a good free-kick tipped wide.
- Tanguy Ndombele, 6: Looked bright when he came on and tried to make a difference with some mazy runs.
