Spurs 3-0 Leicester: Foxes player ratings
By James Bishop
Harvey Barnes- 4
Barnes just didn’t know what to do when he had the ball apart from run with it. He had no cutting edge at all and played Kane onside for the second goal. There is a good player in there, but you do think that without pace he would have little else.
Ayoze Perez- 7
Perez was easily the best player for the Foxes. Had a really good effort expertly saved by Hugo Lloris and had another long-range effort well saved. The Spaniard was positive, played on the half turn and was the only bright spark in the side.
Jamie Vardy- 6
The top goal scorer was lively and had two or three good chances, but he was starved of space the whole game and wasn’t given the ball by anyone. Just one of those games. Occasionally Vardy gave the ball away cheaply.
Leicester City substitutes
Demarai Gray- 5
A typical half for the winger. Comes on when the team is behind, has no space, sticks out wide and is genuinely ineffective. Gary Neville was spot on when he said he usually receives the ball in ineffective areas.
Kelechi Iheanacho- 5
The Nigeria international looked decent but the game was gone by then.
Dennis Praet- N/A
Did not appear for long enough to fairly judge.
Nampalys Mendy- N/A
The same reason applies.
George Hirst- N/A
A wonderful moment for him in his career to get his first appearance, but did not feature long to impress or falter too much.
Manager- 6
Brendan Rodgers didn’t do anything wrong. His hands were tied with the injuries and he was never going to change the team after the Sheff United game. You can’t blame the boss for having one eye on next week, he tried to go for a goal but realised saving players from fatigue and preserving the goal difference is very important.
