James Trafford: Always alert coming off his line when danger threatened. Safe handling. Vital late save from Van Hecke in the closing moments. 6James Justin: Good deliveries and solid in defence. 6Nico Elvedi: Won his physical battle with Marmoush. Headed a good chance wide. 6Tarik Muharemovic: Very solid display. A bargain. 6Jayden Bogle: Good going forward but can consider himself very fortunate not to get a red card for a late challenge on Mathys Tel. 5Ethan Ampadu: Leeds United's captain kept things ticking over in midfield and always a strong presence. 7Sean Longstaff: Booking for a late challenge on Fernandes. Saw a close-range effort saved. 6Ao Tanaka: Worked hard but missed a great second-half opportunity. 6Gabriel Gudmundsson: Excellent first half with some lively runs. Shame he had to come off at half-time. 7Dominic Calvert-Lewin: Hard-working and unselfish when he set up Tanaka for a chance he should have taken. 6Lukas Nmecha: Struggling. Headed straight at Kinsky when he should have scored. 5Substitutes:Melvin Bard (on 45, Gudmundsson): Some fine forward passes in a decent display. 6Noah Okafor (on 77, Lukas Nmecha). Inspirational substitution by Daniel Farke. Clean finish two minutes after coming on. 7Harry Wilson (on 77, Ao Tanaka). Tried to create. 5Ilia Gruev (on 93, Sean Longstaff).Joe Rodon (on 93, Jayden Bogle).Subs not used: Michael Zetterer, Jaka Bijol, Daniel James, Brenden Aaronson.Antonin Kinsky: Very safe handling and excellent save from Longstaff. No chance with the goal. Anxious moment when he took too long over a goal-kick and a corner was awarded. 7Pedro Porro: Always willing to join the attack. Loves a tackle but probably taken off to avoid a red card. 6Micky van de Ven: Dependable presence at the heart of the Spurs defence. One vital second-half clearance. Booked for hauling back Bogle. 6Jan Paul van Hecke: One of his best games for Spurs. Powerful in the air and composed with the ball at his feet. Almost saved a point at the end. 7Andrew Robertson: Solid defensively and always energetic in lending weight to attack. 6Archie Gray: Some nice touches against his old club but generally quiet. 6Sandro Tonali: Anonymous. Needed to do more. 5Mateus Fernandes: Very quiet. No influence at all. 5Mohammed Kudus: Lots of endeavour but little end product. 5Omar Marmoush: Poor. Lacked physical presence against Leeds' defenders. 5Mathys Tel: One or two lively moments but unable to continue after Jayden Bogle's poor first-half challenge. 5Subs:Dominic Solanke (on 43, Tel): Crucial block from Calvert-Lewin. No attacking effect. 5Conor Gallagher (on 65, Porro): Shot inches wide. 5Rodrigo Bentacur (on 65, Mateus Fernandes): Little impact. Missed chance in the final seconds. 5Dejan Kulusevski (on 65, Omar Marmoush): Kept at bay by Leeds. 5Luca Williams-Barnett (on 83, Mohammed Kudus).Subs not used: Luca Gunter, Marcos Senesi, James Maddison, Ben Davies.
