Tottenham Hotspur kickstarted their Europa League campaign with an emphatic 3-0 win over LASK. The Lilywhites were the dominant side throughout the course of the game, taking a 2-0 lead in the first half through a Lucas Moura opener and an own goal from Andres Andrade before Son Heung-Min added more gloss to the scoreline with a composed finish late in the second half.
Joe Hart 7/10
Made an excellent save to preserve his clean sheet late in the first half. The Englishman was outstanding in his overall ball distribution.
Matt Doherty 8/10
Matt Doherty was lively on the right flank, providing a lot of offensive support to Moura and Bale throughout the game. The Irishman also played numerous forward balls, one of which led to the third goal.
Davinson Sanchez 6/10
Davinson Sanchez was unlucky not to concede a goal as he was caught lacking on a few instances, especially in the early stages of the second half. Needs to do better in the upcoming Premier League game.
Ben Davies 6.5/10
Featuring in an unnatural centre-back role, the Welshman provided cover for Sanchez.
Sergio Reguilon 9/10
Sergio Reguilon stole the show with his majestic work down the left flank. The Spaniard looked comfortable in possession and rarely looked complacent. His forays down the flank made life infinitely difficult for the LASK defenders as the left-back continues his fantastic start to his Tottenham career.
Harry Winks 8/10
Harry Winks was a vital cog in the Tottenham midfield. He looked lively with his passes and distributed possession with ease that ultimately helped Spurs retain their dominance over LASK.
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg 7.5/10
Commanded the midfield with his combative qualities. Helped Tottenham dominate the game alongside Harry Winks in the double-pivot role before making way for Moussa Sissoko around the hour mark.
Gareth Bale 7/10
Gareth Bale tried to make things happen in the final third with his darting runs in behind the defence. Provided the pass that led to the Andrade own goal, but the Welshman lacked that sharpness we often expect. Still needs time to settle himself and get back to full fitness.
Erik Lamela 6/10
Erik Lamela got into great positions to create chances for his team but always lacked that final ball. Clumsy at times in an otherwise decent display.
Lucas Moura 9/10
One of the best performers for Tottenham in this game, Lucas Moura looked quite polished on the right-hand side. He often checked his runs and was tenacious going forward, carving out a few great chances for his team.
Carlos Vinicius 9/10
Carlos Vinicius made quite an impact on his debut, providing the assist to Moura’s opener while he was also involved in the late goal from Son Heung-Min. Impressed the onlookers with his work-rate and clever flicks.
Son Heung-Min 8.5/10
Replaced Bale around the hour mark and showed why he is one of the best attackers in the world by instantly influencing the game. The South Korean international made numerous runs in behind the backline and eventually scored the third goal.
Moussa Sissoko 7/10
Moussa Sissoko provided some energy and spark to the table after coming on for Hojbjerg around the hour mark.
Dele Alli 7/10
Made a welcome appearance in the second half and came close to scoring a goal for himself.
Giovani Lo Celso N/A
A late replacement for the tiring Moura. A welcome one too for the Argentine who has been struggling with injuries this season.
Jack Clarke N/A
Made his Tottenham debut by coming on for fellow debutant Carlos Vinicius.
