Micky van de Ven – 6.5/10: Drove forward with the ball on the left before feeding Son for their fourth goal

Destiny Udogie – 6.5/10: Was key to circulating the ball and drove forward to stretch out Everton’s defense

Dejan Kulusevski – 7.5/10: Full of attacking flair and flamboyance; laid four key passes and bagged one assist too

Yves Bissouma – 8/10: Opened the floodgates for Spurs with a 14th-minute strike and displayed great passing accuracy

Forwards

Brennan Johnson – 5/10: Disappointing in attack for Spurs

Heung-min Son – 9/10: Netted a fabulous brace to consolidate their victory

Roman Ivan Dixon – 6.5/10: Timed his tackles well and won a handful of ground duels too

James Tarkowski – 6/10: Strong in the air but was beaten repeatedly in open play by Tottenham’s marauding forwards

Michael Keane – 6.5/10: His experience was on full display as Keane made four interceptions and clearances each

Vitaliy Mykolenko – 6.5/10: Had his fare share of moments in defense but Spurs were ultimately too hot to handle

Midfielders

Tim Iroegbunam – 5/10: Too rash with his tackles and completed only nine passes in 90 minutes of action

Idrissa Gueye – 7/10: Displayed his supreme physicality, winning 10 duels and completing eight tackles

Forwards

Jack Harrison – 5/10: Failed to cope with Tottenham’s intensity and was left chasing shadows for most of the time
