Tottenham kicked off their Europa Conference League campaign with a 2-2 draw with Rennes in France.
Lucas Moura’s deflected cross gave Spurs an early lead but in the end they needed a rare goal from Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg to salvage a point.
Simon Collings ran the rule over Nuno Espirito Santo’s side...
Pierluigi Gollini 5
Couldn’t do much about the first Rennes goal, which was finished well, but he won’t be happy with the second - which he palmed straight to Gaetan Laborde.
Matt Doherty 5
Got into a few good attacking positions but really struggled to make them count. Helped create the second Spurs goal, but even that cross had a deflection.
Japhet Tanganga 6
Suspended for Chelsea this weekend but he started tonight. Fairly solid performance from the youngster at centre-back.
Joe Rodon 6
Making his European debut and did okay. A contender to start against Chelsea this weekend given injuries and suspensions.
Ben Davies 6
Better than Doherty on the other flank, but not by much. Might be disappointed with second Rennes goal and Laborde beating him to the rebound.
Tanguy Ndombele 7 | Star man
Probably Tottenham’s best player on the night. Played a key role in the Spurs goal with a delightful backheel. Looked bright and lively.
Oliver Skipp 6
Neat and tidy, but didn’t really influence the game massively. Outshone by Ndombele and Hojbjerg in midfield.
Bryan Gil 6
A couple of nice moments. Still seems to be finding his feet, and best position, at Tottenham. Offers Nuno something different.
Lucas Moura 7
Arguably Tottenham’s best forward before he was forced to come off due to injury. Provided the assist for the first Spurs goal.
Harry Kane 6
Much more involved than he was against Crystal Palace last weekend. Played a key role in Tottenham’s goal. Taken off before the hour mark.
Steven Bergwijn 5
Only on the pitch for 30 minutes or so as he had to limp off through injury following a late tackle. Had started fairly lively.
Substitutions
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg (Bergwijn 30’) 7
Showed his seniority with a good performance off the bench. Took his goal well.
Dane Scarlett (Moura 54’) 5
Worked hard and tried to be busy. Little chances for him to pounce on though.
Emerson Royal (Kane 54’) 6
Played further forward than he normally does and looked solid.
Dele Alli (Ndombele 78’) N/A
