Tottenham player ratings v Juventus: Star duo run the show with 9/10 displays
Goalkeeper and defenders
Hugo Lloris – 7: Had very little opportunity to do anything about Higuain’s opener, while he was inches away from denying the first penalty. Spent much of the rest of the match watching on as Spurs pushed for a fight back.
Serge Aurier – 4: Huge question marks over whether he has the temperament or defensive nous to be a regular in the starting XI. Was rash with his challenge at the end of the first half which could have led to Juve leading 3-1, and was booked early in the second half for a foul after he gifted possession once again. Suspended for the second leg now.
Davinson Sanchez – 7: Questions will have to be asked over the whole back line for the opening goal, but other than that he looked solid. Showed off his pace when tested and is continuing to grow at the heart of defence.
Jan Vertonghen – 8: A solid performance, he was a calming influence after Juventus’ early dominance threatened to overwhelm Spurs. Marshals the back four well and kept the Italian’s quiet for big chunks of the game. Pulled off a great tackle to deny a clear cut scoring opportunity late on.
Ben Davies – 5: An absolute shocker of an opener for the Welshman. Potentially most at fault for Higuain’s opener before conceding a penalty for a clumsy foul to make it 2-0. Grew into the game though and was a threat in the final third too.
