How we rated the Irons against Spurs

Hugh marks the boys on an incredible night. Not an easy job because a dreadful first half means a mark or two has to be taken off here and there.

Adrian: A couple  of decent saves inside a performance which wasn’t always as secure as it might have been with one long range shot near the end  dealt with poorly as the pressure bult. But ok in the main 5

Byram: Zabaleta is a tough act to follow but Sam did well – getting forward and making his presence felt. 6

Kouyate: Asked to join a back three and looked uncertain at times in that awful first half but grew into things well as the Irons turned on the magic 6

Rice: Couldn’t get his head out of the way for Dele’s second and provided the deflection but apart from that the teenager was a colossus getting his head on everything that mattered at the back. Trust me he’s got the lot 7 

Ogbonna: Brilliant goal, great defending in second half but marked down like the rest because oft hat first 45 minutes 6

Cresswell: Started to come back to the form we know he has in him as the game progressed and crossing much better than of late 6

Noble: No complaints, led from the front on his return and did most that was asked of him 6

Fernandes: Impressive – few balls wasted and always trying tom make things happen on the gallop 7

Lanzini: Coming back to his best but still not quite there 6

Ayew: Finally he starts to pay back some of that £20 million and was in precisely the right place at the right time for his goals. As a result his confidence grew and looked good on the ball 8

Carroll: We’re still waiting for some goals but it was AC doing what AC does with the flick ons etc but we need to see more from him 6
