Tottenham v Leicester ratings: Son 9, Kane 7; Mendy 4, Iheanacho 5

Tottenham regain momentum in European chase with comfortable victory

• 

  TOTTENHAM RATINGS: Hugo Lloris – 6 The Frenchman had a largely untroubled first half and despite looking beaten by Daka’s shot managed to get a fingertip on the ball to push it on to the woodwork. Unable to keep out Ihenancho’s shot from distance. AFP

• 

  Cristian Romero – 8 The Atalanta loanee saved his side from going 1-0 down within 15 minutes following a mistake by Davies. Played a key role for Spurs’ second, showing great determination to win two challenges in the build-up. Action Images

• 

  Eric Dier – 7 Confident display by the centre-back, which made Lloris’ job easier, with Leicester unable to get through for much of the game. Action Images

• 

  Ben Davies – 6 An error by the Welshman could have spelled trouble for his side when he misjudged the ball, leaving Albrighton to nick it before Romero’s interception. Booked. Getty

• 

  Emerson Royal – 7 Busy on the wing, Emerson caused trouble on the flank with his pace and willingness to tackle and block. AFP

• 

  Rodrigo Bentancur – 7 The former Juventus man looked back to his best in the middle of the park alongside Hojbjerg. Booked. AP

• 

  Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg – 7 Dominating alongside Bentancur in the middle, Hojbjerg was even happy to add a couple of dribbles himself on the break. PA

• 

  Ryan Sessegnon – 6 With Reguilon and Doherty sidelined, Sessegnon continued on the wing and sent in an enticing cross to Moura before half-time. Reuters

• 

  Lucas Moura – 5 Making his first League start since February in Antonio Conte’s only change to the starting line-up, Moura failed to impress. Subbed early in the second half. AP

• 

  Harry Kane – 7 Never a surprise to see the duo of Son and Kane link again, this time through a corner to put Tottenham in front, with the England captain heading in with ease. Nearly grabbed a second just after Iheanacho’s consolation goal. AP

• 

  Son Heung-Min – 9 Another assist for the South Korean, who found his strike partner in the box to head home his inch-perfect corner. Scored two of his own, the first turning on the ball to slot past Schmeichel, the second a stunning goal from outside of the box to curl around the Leicester goalkeeper. AFP

• 

  SUBS: Dejan Kulusevski (Moura 56’) – 7 Conte didn’t wait long to bring the Swede back into the team and he made an immediate impact to assist Son in netting Spurs’ second of the game. Getty

• 

  Harry Winks (Bentancur 82’) – N/R The substitute looked to have completely forgotten to mark Ihenanacho in the closing stages of the game. Getty

• 

  Steven Bergwijn (Son 82’) – N/R Part of a double change, Bergwijn was another who looked a bit disinterested in closing down. AFP

• 

  LEICESTER CITY RATINGS: Kasper Schmeichel – 5 Called upon to deny Kane a second before half-time but made a mess of a cross into the box. Had little joy keeping out Spurs’ shots. Reuters

• 

  Timothy Castagne – 5 The Belgian defender came to the rescue to end Emerson’s pacy run down the wing on the break, with the 26-year-old able to block the eventual shot/cross. Good in supporting Albrighton. AP

• 

  Daniel Amartey - 5 Didn’t look the most solid. Beaten in the air for Kane’s goal. PA

• 

  Caglar Soyuncu – 5 The Turk didn’t look the most confident at the back. Getty

• 

  Luke Thomas – 4 The young left-back struggled to deal with Spurs’ domination on the wings early on and couldn’t deal with Kulusevski’s introduction in the second half. EPA

• 

  Boubakary Soumare – 5 On his return from injury, Soumare skipped a challenge on the wing to deliver a tempting cross into the box, with Daka’s shot finding the woodwork early on. Getty

• 

  Nampalys Mendy – 4 The Afcon winner nearly handed Kane a second on a plate when his careless backpass to his goalkeeper lacked pace. EPA

• 

  Marc Albrighton – 6 Booked for a tackle on Bentancur but largely did well to keep Sessegnon quiet. EPA

• 

  Kelechi Iheanacho – 5 Largely absent in comparison to his attacking partners in the first half, with just 14 touches to his name and a shot dragging wide of the post. However, he was given way too much space to squeeze a consolation goal past Lloris in stoppage time. EPA

• 

  Ayoze Perez – 5 In just his fifth start in the league this season, the Spaniard found the side-netting in the opening stages of the game in Leicester’s first move before being fouled in a promising position. AFP

• 

  Patson Daka – 6 Daka could have slotted Leicester ahead within 15 minutes following good work by Soumare on the wing. Later, he was just inches away from poking in the equaliser on the 40th minute. PA

• 

  SUBS: Jamie Vardy (Daka 67’) – 5 The Leicester striker was unable to divert his header on target in his only real opportunity of his appearance. EPA

• 

  Lewis Brunt (Soumare 67’) – 5 The youngster made his Premier League debut with Brendan Rodgers refusing to risk key players ahead of their game against Roma. PA

• 

  Youri Tielemans (Perez 76’) – N/R Drilled forward to find Iheanacho for a late consolation goal for Leicester. Action Images

Son Heung-min scored twice as Tottenham eased past a weakened Leicester side 3-1 on Sunday.

Antonio Conte's side have recently lost momentum in the race to qualify for Europe's top club competition, taking just one point from their previous two matches with no shots on target.

But Harry Kane eased their nerves when her powered home a header from Son's corner midway through the first half and the South Korean doubled the lead on the hour mark after a pass from substitute Dejan Kulusevski.

Son scored a third in the 79th minute to kill the game, curling an unstoppable effort into the top corner before a late consolation for Kelechi Iheanacho for a Leicester side with players rested for the return leg of their Europa Conference League semi-final with Roma.
