Robin Roefs: 7/10
As reliable as ever with his feet and confident when coming with the ball, well protected once again though and never had a proper save to make.
Trai Hume: 6/10
Did OK at the back, moved positions quite a bit and coped
well. Had a good effort from range in the first half after cutting past a couple of Spurs players.
Nordi Mukiele: 9/10
Another fantastic performance by Mukiele, was so good defensively and then made an impact going forward from right back after the substitutions.
Omar Alderete: 7/10
The nearest man to the back post when the Spurs player was left free for their goal but was strong defensively other than that and had a good battle with Richarlison.
Dennis Cirkin: 6/10
Worked hard down the left, no real chance going forward even though he tried to provide support and was quick to get close to any attacking threat down that side.
Lutsharel Geertruida: 8/10
Thought he was one of the few players to come out with credit in a first half where we looked tired, very reliable on the ball and in whatever position he found himself in. Kept that up after the break when he moved into midfield.
Granit Xhaka (C): 7/10
Looked as leggy as his team-mates in the first half but grew into the game and helped us take control after the break.
Enzo Le Fee: 8/10
Struggled to get into the game in the first half but the was instrumental as we got hold of the game, hit the post with a header after ghosting into the box and played a great first time ball to Brobbey for the goal.
Eliezer Mayenda: 6/10
Had some dangerous runs around the opposition box but then took one too many touches and allowed Spurs to clear. Played a lovely ball to the outside for Brobbey to run into for a blocked shot.
Simon Adingra: 5/10
Did put a good shift in defensively but still does not look confident with the ball to feet, often giving the ball away cheaply. There was one good cross to the back post that allowed Hume to get a header into the six yard box but that was cleared.
Brian Brobbey: 8/10
Extremely quiet in the first half but we got him more into the game after the break and he caused plenty of problems for the home side. Not only did he do brilliantly for the goal, playing a classy one-two with Le Fee before smashing the ball home but he was unlucky when his shot was blocked after being played in by Mayenda and also got back to help out defensively.
Substitutes
Romaine Mundle: 5/10
Replaced Cirkin as the team was rejigged but seems to be struggling a bit with the ball to feet since he returned.
Dan Ballard: 7/10
Slotted back in as if he wasn’t away, shutting down anything that came near him.
Chris Rigg: 6/10
Tidy on the ball and made himself an option with clever runs down the channel, the ball didn’t find him though.
Man of the Match: Nordi Mukiele
Nordi is my man of the match, once again. Such a colossus at the back, putting in a huge shift defensively alongside Alderete and then made himself dangerous going forward when he switched to right back, putting in dangerous crosses and even picking out Brobbey in the move that resulted in the goal.
