Spurs Player Ratings
Guglielmo Vicario – 7/10
Stayed alert throughout the match and made a couple of key saves, particularly from Rashford and Garnacho. Commanded his area well and was quick off his line when needed.
Pedro Porro – 6/10
Picked up a yellow card for a reckless challenge but recovered well defensively. Supported attacks with his overlapping runs and delivered dangerous crosses.
Cristian Romero – 7/10
A solid display from Romero. He was physical in defense and managed to keep Manchester United’s forwards quiet for most of the match, although he gave away a couple of corners.
Micky van de Ven – 9/10
An absolute rock at the back and crucial in transitions. Assisted Brennan Johnson for the opening goal and provided cover when Manchester United tried to press.
Destiny Udogie – 7/10
Was energetic and threatening on the left flank, but struggled a bit in the final third
Rodrigo Bentancur – 7/10
Controlled the tempo in midfield with intelligent passes and tackles. His vision was essential for keeping Spurs in control of the game.
James Maddison – 8/10
Ran the show for Spurs, consistently finding space between the lines and causing United’s defense problems. Assisted Solanke’s initial chance and worked hard defensively before being subbed off.
Dejan Kulusevski – 8.5/10
A constant threat throughout the match. Scored Spurs’ second goal with a composed finish after a quick counter and provided several key passes, contributing to all aspects of the attack.
Brennan Johnson – 8/10
Opened the scoring early with a poacher’s goal and remained a nuisance for United’s defense, hitting the post and working tirelessly until he was subbed off.
Timo Werner – 3/10
Werner’s performance in Tottenham’s 3-0 win against Manchester United was far from his best, earning him a dismal 3/10 rating. The German forward missed two golden one-on-one chances that could have put the game out of reach much earlier. His finishing lacked composure, and he appeared out of sync with his teammates, struggling to link up in Spurs’ attacking play. Without the presence of Heung-Min Son, who was sidelined, Werner failed to step up as Tottenham’s attacking threat,
Dominic Solanke – 7.5/10
Scored Spurs’ third goal from close range and was a threat throughout the game. His link-up play with Maddison and Johnson was effective, and he was involved in most of Spurs’ attacking moves.
