Tottenham player ratings vs Fulham: Kane superb, Richarlison and Sessegnon impress, Son sharp

Hugo Lloris

Called into action at the start of the second half and produced a stunning save to keep out Alexsandar Mitrovic's effort. However, couldn't do anything about the striker's fine goal but denied the striker late on with a top save to stop his deflected effort dropping in. 7

Cristian Romero

Back in the Tottenham XI following his recent adductor issue and immediately settled back in. Really should have done better in a 50-50 tackle with Mitrovic for the Serbian's strike. 6

Eric Dier

Up against Mitrovic but didn't exactly have much to do early on with Tottenham on top and dominating. Did have a chance to score his second of the season shortly after the break but he couldn't keep his effort down from Richarlison's cross. 7

Clement Lenglet

Handed his full Tottenham bow and looked calm and composed on the ball coming out from the back. Good full debut from the Frenchman. 7

Emerson Royal

Got in some good positions but his crossing let him down at times. However, played a key role in the opener with some determined play in the far corner to help Tottenham win the ball which led to Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg netting. 7

Rodrigo Bentancur

Returned after missing out at West Ham and Spurs looked much better for having him in the middle with his calm play. Some good pressing and defensive work in the second half. 8

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg

Netted the opener with some really good midfield play as he burst towards the box and linked up with Richarlison before finding the bottom corner. Another solid showing from the Dane. 7

Ryan Sessegnon

Back in the XI and made a vital tackle inside the first three minutes as Bobby De Cordova-Reid went through on goal, before charging upfield after linking up well with Harry Kane. The ex-Fulham man impressed throughout against his old club with his driving runs down the left flank. Had a big role in Kane's strike and unfortunately saw an assist ruled out in the dying minutes for Richarlison. 9

Richarlison

Finally handed a start after some really positive displays off the bench and impressed throughout with some brilliant play and his hard work. Linked up well with Kane numerous times before doing likewise with Hojbjerg for the opener. Unlucky to see a goal ruled out late on following a superb shift. 9

Harry Kane

Started the game extremely well and forced Bernd Leno into action early on following a smart turn on the edge of the box. Was pulling the strings for Spurs, notably picking out Son Heung-min with a stunning ball not long before the break. Excellent showing and got the goal his performance deserved, with his strike seeing him draw level with Thierry Henry on 43 goals in London derbies. 9

Son Heung-min

Found the net with an inswinging cross early on but goal was ruled out for offside, before then hitting the crossbar after linking up extremely well with Kane ten minutes before half-time. Really energetic performance from the player as he did everything but score. 8

Substitutes

Dejan Kulusevski (Harry Kane, 77)

Not on for long but put an inviting cross into the box that nobody could finish off. 6

Ivan Perisic (Son Heung-min, 84)

Not a lot of time to make an impact. 5
