Here's how we rated the Tottenham players after their 2-0 victory at Arsenal in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals
Paulo Gazzaniga 8
The Argentine made an early save to deny Mkhitaryan from point blank range. It was his quick kick that started the move for Son's goal midway through the first half.
Had a frantic couple of minutes towards the end of the first half, smacking a clearance into Aubameyang, handing Arsenal a big chance but then made a fantastic save to push Ramsey's powerful volley on to a post and it bounced back off his face and wide. A couple of kicking errors but two massive saves and played his part in both of Spurs' goals.
Kieran Trippier 7
Struggled to find a decent cross from plenty of decent positions, but defended well down his flank.
Toby Alderweireld 8
The Belgian made a couple of big interceptions in the first half and mopped up most of what was put in front of him.
Ben Davies 8
Started the game well in central defence but almost let Arsenal in after making a hash of clearing the ball following a botched Gazzaniga kick.
He did however make a couple of important interceptions either side of the break. Has looked good in the central role in the last two games.
Danny Rose 7
Captain for the night, Rose again looked more like his old self which is a great thing for Spurs. Got into dangerous areas when attacking but couldn't find the final ball. His defending was on point.
Harry Winks 8
An Energiser bunny of a performance in the middle. Never let the Arsenal midfield settle for a second and used the ball well.
Moussa Sissoko 7
Fired well over from a lightning-quick Spurs break in the first half. Made an important challenge on Torreira on the edge of the Tottenham box in the second period.
Really settling into the central role in the Spurs midfield.
Christian Eriksen 7
The Dane had a chance after ten minutes but fired wide. Forced Cech into a save with a free-kick that was curling wide early in the second half as well as a powerful strike down the centre in the last ten minutes.
Picked up a late yellow card for blocking a free-kick.
Dele Alli 9
Send an early header over before picking out Son perfectly with a ball over the top for Spurs' first half goal. He was then on the receiving end of a similar ball in the second half and ran through before impudently chipping over Cech for the visitors' second.
Was hit by something thrown from the crowd in the final 15 minutes and responded by using his fingers to remind the home fans of the scoreline. Picked up a yellow card for time-wasting late on before heading another chance over the goal. A big performance from the England midfielder with that assist and goal.
Lucas Moura 6
Made a nuisance of himself in the build-up to Spurs' opener. Then made a perfect tackle to stop Mkhitaryan from shooting on the edge of the Tottenham box to start a break.
Worked hard before being replaced by Kane around the hour mark.
Heung-Min Son 8
He ran on to Alli's pass and finished clinically midway through the first half. Got in behind again ten minutes into the second half but his low cross was cut out by Cech.
Was a constant thorn in Arsenal's side until he was replaced by Lamela in the final ten minutes.
Subs
Harry Kane 8
He'd only been on the pitch for a minute or so when he took a clearance down on his chest, moved out wide and curled a perfect pass into the path of Alli to score Spurs' second. Held the ball up excellently from then on.
Erik Lamela N/A
Came on in the final ten minutes and held Spurs' keep the ball.

Not a good month for London clubs is it with a minority letting down their wider fanbases.
It has been a very good month for Spurs, what are you talking about? Oh... Of course if you're talking about chelski and the gooners!

Dele Alli is one of the most unliked footballers due to his antics. The bottle thrower should be banned for throwing a plastic bottle instead of a glass bottle. No respect for the environment!
You're a hooligan to even say that! Society and football stadiums have no place for hooligans like you.

'Biting back'?? The kid just had a bottle chucked at his head! Absolute disgrace by that Arsenal fan, Alli did well to only react with a score update.
Absolutely... That was a professional and mature response from Alli. He has learned from his past mistakes. Imagine that had hit xhaka?

I prefer Tottenham over Arsenal and I am a big fan of Pochettino, Kane and the British core of the squad. However, I have absolutely nothing to say against whoever threw the bottle. Alli is a horrid, vile little man and deserves all the very worst.
You can say that about Alli but throwing the bottle at any player is a low down and should not be condoned. If you advocate that s OK, then you're not any better than that scumbag thrower.

Anyone who hates alli are just jealous. An outrageously good player who's still so young. People bang on about him being a cheater and a dirty player but he hasn't had a red card in years? Neither has he been booked for diving in ages. Arsenal on the other hand managed to get 3 players booked for diving in the same game the other week.
There'll always be jealous haters. Alli was MOTM at the emirates.

Of course this is not done but if there should be one guy that should be smacked in the face for goading the opposition then Dele Alli is the right your right man.

dropping laca for iwobi is just for balance sake, because no one expects auba to be tracking back or defending of any kind unless he wants to( which he rarely does) and miki isn't even close to be good enough to do that playmaking role by himself, nd if u are thinking the next best thing is to start ozil (pls think again) ozil is an amazing player and his assist and playmaking gas helped us greatly but lets face it , he has falled off his game.. playing ozil now is like automatically being down one man and its not like the team is so good to cover up for him... what we need to give the coach is time and if u didn't expect loss then u were dreaming... even pep needed new players before he could start challenging for anything

Lots of people don't like Alli because he is a cheat and a diver, silly throwing at bottle at him though.

It completely caught Alli unawares, so much so, that he completely forgot to throw himself to the deck at the contact:)

When the Spurs fan was identified for throwing a banana skin he was banned for 4 years and he siding hit anyone so the Arsenal fan manages to hit Alli with the empty bottle now Arsenal are trying to find the offender to give him a starting jersey as they couldn't hit a barn door tonight

Stupid caption; the referee wasn't in quickly to stop players turning on each other - the Arsenal players were first there and made sure the situation didn't get worse - one stood between Alli and the crowd and moved him away. It was obvious there was no problem between the two sets of players.
