Spurs Player Ratings: Ryan Mason saves the day but wasteful Nacer Chadli disappoints again
EXPRESS SPORT brings you Tottenham's player ratings from their match against Sunderland.
Lloris - Well beaten by Defoe and Rodwell but fortunate to see both shots hit the woodwork. Comfortable afternoon behind a strong defence - 6
Walker - Always susceptible defensively. Jeremain Lens gave him a tough afternoon - 5
Alderweireld - Forming a strong partnership with his Belgian colleague Toby Alderweireld. Kept Jermain Defoe quiet apart from his shot which hit the post - 7
Vertonghen - A leader in the Spurs defence. Rediscovered his form from two years ago - 8
Davies - Seems to be ahead of Danny Rose in the pecking order. Finally adjusting to life under Mauricio Pochettino - 7
Dier - Adapting to his new role in defensive midfield impressively but greater tests await - 8
Mason - Scored the all important goal with the game's only moment of genuine quality. Took a knock to his knee with the finish and had to be subbed off - 7
Chadli - Wasteful performance by the Belgian. Very few efforts on target and not enough end product - 5
Alli - A constant bright spark in the Spurs midfield. Always looking to be positive - 7
Son - Quiet debut for the South Korean. Taken off early in the second half - 5
Kane - Premier League goal drought continues. Badly missing Christian Eriksen's quality - 6
