SUBS: Dejan Kulusevski (Son, 72) N/A – Looked lively after coming for the subdued Son and won a free kick immediately after his introduction. AP
SPORTING RATINGS: Antonio Adan 7 – The goalkeeper only had to make a couple of straightforward stops but came to his side’s rescue to deny Emerson Royal. Getty
Goncalo Inacio 6 – Got stuck into his defensive duties, charging down Bentancur’s goal-bound effort in the early stages. AFP
Sebastian Coates 6 – Solid display at the back against an underwhelming Tottenham front-line. Reuters
Matheus Reis 7 – Looked confident and brought the ball out of defence well. The centre-back lost possession after 24 minutes but recovered well with a vital block against Richarlison. AFP
Hidemasa Morita 5 – Sloppy in possession and lost the ball in the middle of the park after 63 minutes and carded for the subsequent foul on Son. EPA
Manuel Ugarte 6 – Moved the ball well from the midfield. EPA
Pedro Porro 8 – Outstanding with the ball and the wing-back was kept off the scoresheet by a remarkable save as Lloris palmed his curling effort behind for a corner. A quality delivery from the set-piece provided the assist for the opening goal. AFP
Nuno Santos 7 - His link play was excellent on the left. Reuters
Francisco Trincao 6 – Looked dangerous when running at the Tottenham defence. The forward found himself in space outside box after 27 minutes but scuffed a shot wide instead of laying the ball onto a well-positioned Edwards. Reuters
Pedro Goncalves 6 – A good cameo, and the winger had several chances to score, but his tame efforts did not trouble the Tottenham goalkeeper. AFP
Marcus Edwards 8 – A standout performance from the former Tottenham player. The 23-year-old deserved to get on the scoresheet after dancing his way through the midfield, but Lloris managed to divert the ball just past the post to deny what would have been an exceptional goal just before half time. AFP
SUBS: Sotirios Alexandropoulos (Morita, 71) N/A - The young Greek kept things simple. Getty
Paulinho (Trincao, 76) N/A – Scored a glancing header to break the deadlock after 90 minutes. PA
Arthur Gomes (Edwards, 90) N/A – Became the second substitute to get on the scoresheet after nutmegging Emerson and slotting the ball past Lloris. Reuters
Ricardo Esgaio (Santos, 90) N/A. EPA
TOTTENHAM RATINGS: Hugo Lloris 8 – Forced into action in the closing minutes of the game. After producing an outstanding save to send Porro’s curling effort for a corner, the goalkeeper was then left stranded by Paulinho’s header, and could do little about Arthur’s finish three minutes later. AFP
Ben Davies 6 – Not a bad performance in defence. Getty
Eric Dier 6 – Showcased a wide range of passing and made some important blocks but was ultimately caught out by the pace of the Sporting counterattack. Getty
Cristian Romero 5 – Couldn’t get back to help his full-back for the second goal. Reuters
Emerson Royal 4 – Found himself at the end of Tottenham’s biggest chances but the defender could not find the finish. Guilty of poor defending for the second goal, which saw the Brazilian nutmegged by Arthur. AFP
Rodrigo Bentancur 5 – An average display in a defensive performance, and the midfielder was booked at the hour mark for a challenge on the onrushing Goncalves. AFP
Pierre Hojbjerg 5 – Looked slow in the middle of the park, with a few misplaced passes. Booked for a late challenge on Ugarte. AP
Ivan Perisic 6 – Delivered some dangerous crosses into the box. AFP
Son Heung-min 4 – Another frustrating game for the South Korean, who is still searching for his first goal of the season. EPA
Richarlison 6 – Showed glimpses of his quality on the ball but the Brazilian strayed into an offside position on three occasions. AP
Harry Kane 5 – Couldn’t make an impact on the game, as the striker was found dropping deep as his side struggled in front of goal. Getty
