Tottenham player ratings: Harry Kane rescues a point, Hojbjerg on target but Sessegnon struggles

Hugo Lloris

Did well to save Havertz's effort with an outstretched foot but had no chance from Koulibaly's volley from the resulting corner. Didn't have another save to make until Chelsea's second goal when James' body shape fooled him as he dived underneath the ball. 5

Cristian Romero

Some strong challenges but also some hesitant touches during the encounter and a late mad moment when he pulled Cucurella's hair in the Chelsea box. 6

Eric Dier

Some shaky moments out of possession with his decision-making and rushed out to leave Davies alone for Chelsea's second goal, but also a couple of big tackles and he was a major presence in the Chelsea box late on. 6

Ben Davies

Left all on his own for Chelsea's second with two men at the back to handle after Spurs had switched to a back four they didn't seem comfortable in. However, he teed up Hojbjerg to grab an assist and it was his header at the end that Mendy needed to tip over and it led to the corner that Kane scored from. 6

Emerson Royal

Had some good moments defensively, but added little going forward. 6

Rodrigo Bentancur

Some composed moments early on but he struggled under the intensity of the match in the second half and it was his tackle, which replays showed he just about touched the ball, that sparked Chelsea's anger before Spurs' equaliser. 5

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg

Played Kane through on goal for a big second half chance and then grabbed Tottenham's equaliser with a clinical low strike into the bottom left corner. 7

Ryan Sessegnon

A tough day as he was overloaded down his flank. Put through soon after Chelsea's first half opener but saw his effort saved by Mendy. Covered well to stop a Sterling break though the middle before half-time but he was beaten too easily down his flank a couple of times. Came off before the hour mark for Richarlison. 5

Dejan Kulusevski

Could have put Son away with a better pass early on. Battled away but didn't have anywhere near the quality of previous performances. 5

Harry Kane

Put Sessegnon through on goal in the first half with a quickly taken free-kick and played Son in with a curling pass after the break. Had a huge chance just after the hour when put clean through but he fired low and well wide. Made up for it with a late header that flew in off James' thigh. 7

Son Heung-min

Struggled to control the ball in the first half but made a good run in the second period that ended with a shot Mendy saved. Came off for Perisic in the second half. 5

Subs

Richarlison

Came on for his Spurs debut before the hour mark and he made a difference with his workrate and bite in the challenge. 7

Ivan Perisic

Worked hard down the left and it was his corner that Kane headed home late on. 7

Yves Bissouma

Replaced Bentancur and tried to make an impression. It was his deflected shot that kept the run of late corners going. 6

Lucas Moura

Came on as a right wing-back late on. N/A
