Ajax (4-2-3-1) Andre Onana - 5

Did what he had to with minimum fuss in first half but error just before Moura’s second. That proved costly.

Noussair Mazraoui - 6

Forced Son to change flanks for period in first half, so in command was he. Son had the better of him after break though. 

Matthijs de Ligt - 7

Brilliant early goal, carbon copy of winner at Juventus. But he looked like a teenager during Spurs onslaught.

Daley Blind - 6

Stepped out of defence with ease and confidence on occasions but was sloppy on others and was fragile late on. 

Nicolas Tagliafico - 6

Lasse Schone - 6.5

The old man but he keeps youngsters in check. Never wasted a pass in first half but was sacrificed early in second as Spurs caught fire. 

Donny van de Beek - 6.5

Populated space in No 10 role and repeatedly played probing passes first half, although his influence quickly waned. 

Frenkie de Jong - 7

Brilliant early challenge to deny Alli as he burst through. Effortless in keeping possession and always progressive passing.

Kasper Dolberg - 5

Hakim Ziyech - 8.5

Warning signs were there before sweet finish for second goal. A class act. Spurs could not handle Moroccan. 

Dusan Tadic - 7.5
