Here we have with us the Tottenham Hotspur Player Ratings for their comeback victory against Morecambe. The Lilywhites took down the Shrimps 3-1 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium during their FA Cup 3rd round clash on Sunday.
A dominating yet questionable performance took Spurs’ FA Cup charge to the next round, with Manchester United vs Aston Villa left as the final game of the 3rd round. Tottenham will now face Brighton in the 4th round tie.
Even though the Premier League side were the better team, the evening started off better for the Shrimps. Poor man marking from Japhet Tanganga saw Morecambe’s Anthony O’Connor score a simple finish off of a corner in the 33rd minute. Spurs kept pushing for a goal in the first half but to no avail.
Antonio Conte’s side burst into action in the final 15 minutes of the game, with a stunning free-kick goal by Harry Winks. Soon, Lucas Moura capitalised from an error by defender Ryan McLaughlin to give Spurs the lead. A final beautiful finish slotted in out of nowhere by Harry Kane decided the result of the evening with a score line of 3-1.
Tottenham Hotspur Player Ratings vs Morecambe
Pierluigi Gollini (GK) (6): Did not have much to do and made just one save in the whole game.
Japhet Tanganga (RCB) (5.5): Defensively dicey. Lost his marker to let the opposition score.
Joe Rodon (CB) (6.5): Shaky start to the evening but found back his composure.
Ben Davies (LCB) (7.5): Held the back line well. Neutralized all threats and defensively solid.
Matt Doherty (RM) (6): Lacked composure and precision in the entirety of the game.
Harry Winks (CM) (8): Scored the equalizer in the 75th minute with a magnificent free-kick. Played out the midfield well and helped on both ends of the pitch.
Tanguy Ndombele (CM) (6): Made great runs and dribbles but lacked that final ball in his game.
Ryan Sessegnon (LM) (6.5): Dribbled the ball well down his flank and made great chances. Missed a sitter to keep him away from glory.
Bryan Gil (RW) (5.5): Struggled throughout the game as Morecambe defenders shut him off well.
Giovani Lo Celso (LW) (7): Created the most chances in the game. To show for his efforts, he got an assist late in the game for Kane’s goal.
Dele Alli (ST) (6): Made spaces for others by dropping deep. Nowhere close to a goal.
