PLAYER RATINGS

- By SAMI MOKBEL AT THE TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR STADIUM SUBSTITUTE­S Moura 6 (for Kane 58min) Wanyama (Winks 81) Llorente (Alli 87) Not used: Gazzaniga, Sanchez, Foyth, Davies. SUBSTITUTE­S Jesus 6 (Aguero 71min) Sane (Mahrez 89) De Bruyne (Silva 89) Not used: Mu

HUGO LLORIS 8 High-profile errors from earlier in the season were forgotten after his brilliant penalty save.

KIERAN TRIPPIER 6.5 The England right back was not overawed by the occasion. Controlled and measured display.

TOBY ALDERWEIRE­LD 7 A calming influence. His £25million release clause a huge worry for Spurs this summer.

JAN VERTONGHEN 6.5 Headed and kicked it when he had to, played football when he could. So assured.

DANNY ROSE 7 Gave away penalty but breathed a sigh of relief when it was saved and regained his composure.

MOUSSA SISSOKO 7 Got through shed loads of work in a congested midfield. His work-rate was vital for Spurs.

HARRY WINKS 7.5 Shows the discipline and game-understand­ing of a seasoned veteran — and he’s still only 23.

CHRISTIAN ERIKSEN 6.5 An uncharacte­ristically off night in terms of passing, but still set up Son’s crucial goal.

DELE ALLI 7.5 Looked in the zone from the get-go. Caused City big problems with his dribbling.

SON HEUNG-MIN 7.5 Yet again stepped up in Kane’s absence. He has two goals in two games at the new stadium.

HARRY KANE 7 Looks set for another spell on the sidelines with an ankle injury after collision with Delph.

MAURICIO POCHETTINO 7.5 What an effort from his players. But will a one-goal lead be enough when they go to Manchester for the second leg next week?

EDERSON 6.5 Made some crucial saves to keep City in touch but should have saved Son’s shot.

KYLE WALKER 6.5 Jeered every time he received the ball but the former Spurs man stood firm for the most part.

NICOLAS OTAMENDI 6 Appeared rattled by Tottenham’s fluid quartet. Needed eyes in the back of his head.

AYMERIC LAPORTE 6 Switched off on occasion to leave his side exposed. Took time to find his composure.

FABIAN DELPH 5.5 Commitment couldn’t be faulted but caught out of position too often and switched off for Son’s goal.

ILKAY GUNDOGAN 6.5 Little opportunit­y to impose his passing on the game early on as Spurs dominated.

FERNANDINH­O 6.5 Combative in central midfield but you wouldn’t expect anything less from the Brazilian.

DAVID SILVA 6.5 After a slow start by his lofty standards, the diminutive Spaniard’s influence steadily grew.

RIYAD MAHREZ 5.5 Had little opportunit­y to express himself and struggled with his defensive duties.

SERGIO AGUERO 5.5 His missed penalty took the wind out of his sails. Only had a couple of half-chances after that.

RAHEEM STERLING 7 City’s most threatenin­g player but his defensive discipline was most eye-catching here.

PEP GUARDIOLA 6.5 Won’t be happy, but this is far from a disastrous result. He will back his team to score the goals to take them through next week.
