Full Time: Huddersfield Town 0-4 Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham Hotspur blasted away David Wagner’s Huddersfield Town, handing them a 4-0 defeat at The John Smith’s stadium, on Saturday. 

Tottenham were up and running just 9 minutes into the game, as talismanic striker Harry Kane got himself on the scoresheet again with a clinical strike. Seven minutes later, Ben Davies doubled the visitors’ advantage with a clever finish, after some beautiful build-up play.

Kane made it three for Spurs, with a stunning left-footed hit from the edge of the box in the 23rd minute. Substitute Moussa Sissoko then added further sheen to the scoreline with a late goal in stoppage time.

Here’s how the Tottenham players fared on the day against the Terriers:

Tottenham Player Ratings 

Hugo Lloris – 7/10 

Made an early save to keep Tommy Smith out and parried away a dangerous cross in the first half. Was untroubled thereafter.

Toby Alderweireld – 7/10

Conceded a free-kick on the edge of the box in the first period, but was untested for almost the entirety of the game. 

Davinson Sanchez – 7/10

Could have conceded a penalty in the first-half, but other than that, he did not put a foot wrong and was solid again. 

Jan Vertonghen – 7/10

Returning to the line-up after missing the Champions League game, the Belgian had a comfortable outing, with the Terriers not offering a great deal going forward.

Kieran Trippier – 7.5/10 

Got the assist for Kane’s first two goals. Put in a shift down the right-hand side and had a quiet day as far as his defensive duties were concerned. 

Eric Dier – 7.5/10 

Another steady and solid display in the middle, making crucial blocks and allowing his creative teammates to flourish.  

Harry Winks – 7.5/10 

Offered energy, drive and thrust from the middle of the park. Was always looking to get on the ball. The youngster looks like a confident player and this game time will benefit him greatly. 

Ben Davies – 8/10 

A cool finish to make it two nil in the first-half. Got the assist for the fourth goal. Another enterprising display from the Welshman. 

Christian Eriksen – 8/10 

Was involved in the lead up to the second Tottenham goal. Was a nuisance with his creativity and keen eye for a pass. 

Dele Alli – 6/10 

Hit the bottom of the post at the half-hour mark. Was booked for a blatant dive in the box after the break. Still not hitting top gear. 

Harry Kane – 9/10 

Unerring finish to open the scoring and an exquisite strike for his second goal of the day. Was involved in Davies’ goal as well. Truly phenomenal.

Moussa Sissoko – 6.5/10 

Replaced Eriksen for the final 15 minutes. Scored his first goal for Spurs, late in the game, to make it 4-0. 

Kyle Walker-Peters – N/A  

On for Trippier in the 82nd minute.

Replaced Kane late in the game.
