Nabil Bentaleb 5, Matt Ritchie 8; Harry Kane 7, Son Heung-min 8 - Newcastle v Tottenham player ratings

Hind Al Soulia - Riyadh - NEWCASTLE RATINGS: Martin Dubravka – 6, Spectacularly pawed away a 30-yard curler from Son, shortly after conceding from the same player. EPA

Emil Krafth – 5, Played because Danny Rose was unable to against his parent club, but did not provide the influence the loanee might have done. AFP

Federico Fernandez – 6, Booked for a foul on Lo Celso. Did not appear too troubled otherwise, but Spurs were clinical when they had their chances. Reuters

Fabian Schar – 7, Sparked an attack in the second half with a purposeful forward run. Wore an arm in the face from Harry Kane straight after. Reuters

DeAndre Yedlin – 5, Popped up in the centre-forward position, which went to show how keen he was to make an impression against his old club, before being subbed. AFP

Matt Ritchie – 8, A ready source of crosses – with either foot – and hit a sweet strike for the leveller. Reuters

Nabil Bentaleb – 5, Would have wanted a greater impact against the club where he first cut his teeth, but was inconspicuous. EPA

Miguel Almiron – 6, Had two good chances early on, one blocked and one blazed over, and his influence waned thereafter. Reuters

Jonjo Shelvey – 7, Wasted a fine headed chance from a Ritchie cross early on, but was Newcastle’s best source of midfield creativity. Reuters

Allan Saint-Maximin – 7, Plenty of drive and dynamism, but not always in the most dangerous positions for Newcastle. EPA

Dwight Gayle – 6, Hit the post with a clever flicked header just before half time, but seemed agitated with the supply chain for much of the time. EPA

SUBS: Valentino Lazaro (on for Yedlin, 55') – 7, His driving run with his first touch of the ball set up the chance for Ritchie’s equaliser. Reuters

Joelinton (on for Gayle, 69') – 5, Enough time, but little opportunity to make a difference after coming on as a second-half sub. Reuters

Matt Longstaff (on for Bentaleb, 69') – 6, Tried to look busy after his late introduction but his chances were few. EPA

TOTTENHAM RATINGS: Hugo Lloris – 6, No chance with Ritchie’s blistering strike, but was equal to anything else Newcastle’s forwards had to offer. Reuters

Serge Aurier – 7, Remarkable he felt able to play, two days after his brother’s death. Not as buccaneering as usual, but that was no bad thing. Reuters

Toby Alderweireld – 7, Unlucky to incur a rare yellow card for a foul on Ritchie, but was an image of composure thereafter. Reuters

Davinson Sanchez – 7, Bravely headed Almiron’s shot away early on, and made an important second half block, too. Reuters

Ben Davies – 5, Made a bungled clearance to put his side under pressure in the first half, and struggled to cope with Saint-Maximin. AFP

Harry Winks – 7, Tidy and unspectacular, as is his standard. Made some timely interventions from a defensive perspective. Reuters

Giovani Lo Celso – 7, Showed great tenacity to set up Son for the opener and was assured on the ball until his substitution on the hour mark. Reuters

Moussa Sissoko – 6, The heavy schedule might be counting against a player whose game relies on athleticism, as he was subdued against his old team. Reuters

Lucas Moura – 8, A constant threat with both his dribbling and passing before succumbing to a second-half injury. Reuters

Son Heung-min – 8, Put Spurs into the lead with his 18th goal of the season, and was not shy to work back for his team. EPA

Harry Kane – 7, Still not at full sharpness, and Spurs attacks often slowed once the ball reached him, but he made no mistake with his two headed goals. Reuters

SUBS: Eric Lamela (on for Lo Celso, 62') – 7, Just what Spurs required after his introduction for his compatriot Lo Celso, and he made the clincher for Kane. AFP

Steven Bergwijn (on for Moura, 57') – 8, Immediate impact with an appetising cross for Kane’s goal after replacing Moura. EPA

Jan Vertonghen (on for Kane, 90') – NA, On to use up some time and bolster the defence straight after Spurs had clinched it. AFP
