SEVEN HELLS

Tottenham player ratings: Spurs ripped apart by Bayern with Winks and Aurier enduring shocking nights

Sponsored by

TOTTENHAM were stunned by Bayern Munich who ran out 7-2 winners in this Champions League group game. Yes SEVEN.

With this area of North London still reeling from the shock news that local girl Adele might be dating superstar grime artist Skepta - they could have done without this as well.

The night started brilliantly for Spurs when Heung-min Son gave them the lead but by half-time Bayern were ahead through Joshua Kimmich and Robert Lewandowski.

Then an awful spell early in the second half saw ex-Arsenal man Serge Gnabry score a brace inside a few minutes.

Harry Kane pulled one back from the spot to provide some hope but Gnabry wasn't finished. He went on two score two more with those sandwiched by a Lewandowski strike.

Here's how Simon Rice rated the bewildered Spurs players.

Hugo Lloris – 2/10

The Frenchman stopped a few stinging shots on a tricky night for keepers due to the extreme wet weather. But on a night when you concede SEVEN goals, a score of two feels generous.

Serge Aurier - 2

Should have been off the pitch inside 10 mins for a sickening tackle in which he jumped two footed on David Alaba. A liability at the back as well but his desire to get forward did also cause Bayern problems. Lost the plot in the second half.

Toby Alderweireld - 4

Some good clearing headers but like the rest of the defence, totally embarrassed in the second period.

Jan Vertonghen - 3

Was made to look a fool in the build up to Bayern's second goal as Lewandowski flicked the ball over his head.

Danny Rose - 3

Won the penalty for Spurs but that's as good as it got. Struggled to get forward and was torn apart at times by Coman - who he blatantly fouled in the box but somehow got away with.

Harry Winks - 2

Gave away possession in midfield time and again and was eventually punished when Gnabry scored his second. Poor game.

Tanguy Ndombele - 4

Great through ball early on and then provided the assist for Son's opener after sloppy defending from Bayern. He should have scored soon after. At fault for Bayern's first and second goals. First he let Kimmich find space to score from the edge of the box and then failed to clear his lines which saw Lewandowski hit the back of the net. Replaced by Eriksen just after the hour mark.

Moussa Sissoko - 5

Snatched at decent chance with the score at 2-4 - and oh boy it could have been different had he scored it.

Dele Alli - 3

Looked dangerous when he got on the ball in the first half but he lacked that killer edge that at one stage in his career stood him out. Let a few opportunities get past him in the second half before Poch saw enough and replaced him with Moura after 70 mins.

Heung-Min Son - 6

Got the opening goal after making the liveliest start on the pitch. Was a total nuisance for Bayern. Struggled to keep up those high standards in the second period.

Harry Kane - 5

Will be frustrated with himself he didn't score after rounding Neuer but he just couldn't quite get the pace on his shot with his left peg, allowing Bayern to clear. Scored the penalty for Spurs.

SUBS - Eriksen (on for Ndombele after 62 mins) - 5

Stinging shot from range just after coming on made you question why he didn't start. Had another shot from range but flew over the bar.

Lucas Moura (on for Dele after 70 mins) - 4

Made very little impact after coming on with Bayern running riot at the other end.
