Emi Martinez

Made one big save to deny Odobert in the first half but could have spent the rest of the night in a deckchair. Three clean sheets in a row.

Save 7

Matty Cash

Son Heung-min was a nuisance but once Cash had a handle on him, Tottenham had no threat. Pushed forward well in the second half.

Committed 7

Ezri Konsa

His goal didn’t generate quite the same roar as against PSG but it was a big moment. Dealt with everything defensively with calm.

Goal 7

Pau Torres

A confident performance from the centre-back, who has come in for his share of criticism. Passing looked back to its best.
