Robinson: A crunching, but perfectly fair first-half challenge went down particularly well with home patrons. Strong performance. 8

Baldock: Restored to the side and was high-energy and dependable enough. A day for defence rather than marauding forward, in the main. Booked for a juicy one on Son. 7

Coulibaly: Just a second start for United. Missed a huge chance before the break. 6

Doyle: A fair bit of responsibility on his young shoulders in the middle and enjoyed himself. 7

Osborn: The senior man in the midfield and showed his experience. 7

Brooks: A big night for the youngster, who was handed his first start. One early wobble aside, did okay. 6

McAtee: Handed a licence to support Sharp up top. Busy and disciplined without the ball. 7

Sharp: Occupied Spurs central defenders. Waited for that chance, didn’t come - but led the line expertly 7
