  • WEST HAM RATINGS: Lukasz Fabianski - 7: He was up to the task when tested by Lamela and Kane at the end of the first half, and most things that followed after that, too. EPA

  • Vladimir Coufal - 8: Should have had a tough afternoon up against Son and Reguilon, but he breezed through. Played an important part in the opener, too. Cleaned out by his own keeper near the end, but battled on. Getty

  • Declan Rice - 8: In the right place at the right time so often to break up Spurs attacks – not that the away side exactly exuded fluency at any point, anyway. Made a stunning last ditch interception from a Kane cross. Getty

  • Jarrod Bowen - 7: Played in a brilliant cross for the opener, and might have doubled the lead when clean through not long after. His impact waned until the point he was subbed for Benrahma. Reuters

  • Jesse Lingard - 7: Needed to be more purposeful when Antonio put him through early on. Celebrated his goal at the start of the second half twice, after it was initially chalked off, only for VAR to reinstate it. Reuters

  • SUBS: Said Benrahma - (On for Bowen 65') 7: Showed twinkling footwork immediately after coming on for Bowen, and was a good outlet for his side while he was on the field. PA

  • SPURS RATINGS: Hugo Lloris - 6: Only stopped the inevitable for a moment when he kept out Antonio’s first effort in the fifth minute. The forward opened the scoring from the rebound. Little chance with Lingard’s shot for the second. EPA

  • Eric Dier - 5: Should have done better with a header at an attacking corner in first-half injury-time, hit a late shot wide, and struggled up against Antonio, too. A miserable afternoon. AFP

  • Sergio Reguilon - 7: Provided a good outlet for Spurs in a testing first half, but the moves often ended in frustration. Brought off with 15 minutes to go, replaced by Alli. PA

  • Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg - 6: So often Spurs’ inspiration in his first season at the club, but even he could not raise them above the torpor at the London Stadium. Reuters

  • Tanguy Ndombele - 6: His body language suggested he was very unhappy with life. At least he was better after the restart, but he did not sparkle in the way he has shown he can. AP

  • Lucas Moura - 6: On the periphery during the tough start for the visitors, and loose in possession when he did see the ball. Bizarre that Lamela was hooked at half time instead of him, yet he did impact the game thereafter and headed home well from a Bale corner. EPA

  • Erik Lamela - 7: Set up Kane with a determined counter-attacking run, completely against the run of early play. Surprisingly did not emerge after half-time, given he was one of Spurs’ brightest lights in a dull first-half display. Getty

  • Son Heung-min - 5: Should have got to Bowen to block the opening goal at its source. Poor on set pieces. Might have redeemed it all when he nearly fluked a goal in stoppage time at the end. AFP

  • Harry Kane - 6: Blazed Spurs’ first chance wide from Lamela’s run, and was thwarted by Fabianski a variety of times thereafter. Might have been fearing another ankle injury when he was felled in the second half. Reuters

  • SUBS: Gareth Bale - (On for Lamela 46') 8: After his improved showing in the Europa League on Thursday, he did his best to snap Spurs out of their slumber this time. Crossed for Moura’s goal. Saw a magnificent effort crash against the bar. Reuters

  • Matt Doherty - (On for Tanganga 46') 6: Added more threat down the Spurs right flank after coming on at the break for Tanganga, in concert with Bale, although he was often wasteful with crosses. PA
