TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR RATINGS: Hugo Lloris - 6, Had pretty much nothing to do all game apart from picking Christian Benteke’s header out of his net. Reuters
Matt Doherty - 6, Will be disappointed that the cross for Palace’s goal came from his side but he got the assist for Kane’s first goal. Booked for a late foul on Wilfried Zaha. EPA
Davinson Sanchez - 6, Did well to intervene when Patrick van Aanholt almost got through and was solid in most of his play, though there was the occasional questionable piece of defending. Reuters
Toby Alderweireld - 6, Was authoritative for large periods of the game but got on the wrong side and was completely overpowered by Benteke for his goal. AFP
Sergio Reguilon - 7, Had some very good moments defensively and also got forward well, providing a great cross that lead to Spurs’ second. AFP
Harry Winks - 6, Played the ball around neatly but didn’t have much of a notable impact on the game. AP
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg - 7, Didn’t put a foot wrong and protected the back four well, especially when breaking up potential Palace counterattacks. PA
Gareth Bale - 9, Got some decent crosses into the box and made no mistake from inside the six-yard-box for the opener before showing his predatory instinct for his second. Reuters
Lucas Moura - 8, Drew plenty of fouls and constantly harassed Crystal Palace’s defenders and midfielders, which lead to the opening goal. AP
Heung-min Son - 7, It looked as though the South Korea international may be left out of the fun but he selflessly assisted Harry Kane for Spurs’ fourth goal of the game. Reuters
Harry Kane - 10, Provided the chance on a plate for both of Bale’s goals with precise assists before scoring from an absolute wonder strike and then getting himself a second. Even made a goal line clearance. Reuters
SUBS: Moussa Sissoko (Winks 70’) – N/R, Imposed himself on the game quickly with his presence and was comfortable on the ball. EPA
Erik Lamela (Bale 70’) – N/R, Got plenty of touches on the ball and his cross to Son played an important part in Spurs’ fourth of the game. Reuters
Carlos Vinicius (Kane 80’) – N/R, Held the ball up well a few times but didn’t get any chances to score. AP
CRYSTAL PALACE RATINGS: Vicente Guaita - 6, Had no chance of stopping any of Spurs’ goals and can feel hard-done-by to have conceded four. AP
Joel Ward - 5, Took a heavy blow in the early stages but carried on to put in a resolute defensive performance, though he did lack some awareness for Spurs’ fourth. Reuters
Cheikhou Kouyate - 5, Did the basics very well for large periods but could have improved his positioning at points. Getty
Gary Cahill - 6, Was dominant in the air and dealt with danger well most of the time, but got himself booked for a silly foul on Moura. AP
Patrick van Aanholt - 6, Defended resolutely for large periods of the game but struggled when Bale really got going. AP
Andros Townsend - 5, Showed plenty of energy to help Ward out defensively, while also driving up the pitch but couldn’t find much end product. PA
Luka Milivojevic - 6, Carelessly lost the ball for the opener but made up for that with a brilliant cross for Benteke’s goal. Struggled to contain Spurs. AP
Jairo Riedewald - 6, Moved the ball around neatly and put in a fairly solid display, though there were a few incidents where he wanted too long on the ball. Booked for a foul on Moura. AFP
Eberechi Eze - 6, He put in some great work in the build-up to Palace’s equaliser and positioned himself well to help Van Aanholt defensively. Can feel hard-done-by that he was substituted at half-time. Getty
Jordan Ayew - 5, Battled well and pressed from the front but didn’t get to show much quality on the ball. Booked for a foul on Bale. Getty
Christian Benteke - 7, Held the ball up brilliantly, often while receiving a lack of options from his teammates and took his goal very well. PA
SUBS: Wilfried Zaha (Eze HT) - 6, Cut a frustrated figure with his team going behind but had his nearly moments, the biggest of which came when he hit the post. AFP
Jeffrey Schlupp (Townsend 65’) - 5, Showed plenty of energy but his decision making wasn’t always the best. Reuters
