The half-time whistle has blown between Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle in the Carabao Cup, and the player ratings are in.<\/p>\n

Below, we have given each Tottenham player a performance rating on a scale of 0-10, with 10 highest score achievable for an impressive performance.<\/p>\n

Tottenham player ratings vs Newcastle<\/p>\n

Antonin Kinsky<\/a> \u2013 Called into action early on from a Newcastle set piece after Malick Thiaw got his head on a Sandro Tonali cross, but the Czech international was equal to it. The 22-year-old has been tidy with his distribution, often finding Richarlison\u2019s feet. Conceded from a corner after Fabian Schar headed in \u2013 came out to claim but hesitated. 6.<\/p>\n

Pedro Porro<\/a> \u2013 Newcastle United started the first half at full tilt, creating a couple of early chances. Jacob Ramsey looked to test Kinsky after a driving run into Spurs\u2019 box, but Porro stuck with him and got a vital block in to deny the former Aston Villa man. 6.<\/p>\n

Kevin Danso<\/a> \u2013 The Austrian was immense last time out against Everton, but here he was caught out by Schar, who rose above him to give Newcastle the lead. Managed a strike from range as Tottenham pushed for an equaliser, though it went straight at Aaron Ramsdale. 5.<\/p>\n

Joao Palhinha<\/a> \u2013 The Portuguese midfielder does not look out of place in defence, given how solid he\u2019s been. Made a couple of key interceptions, blocks and tackles, and dealt well with aerial duels. Has, however, been dragged out of position at times when Djed Spence pushes forward. 7.<\/p>\n

Djed Spence<\/a>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Really positive going forward for Tottenham as they chased an equaliser. Decision-making in the final third was decent, with Thomas Frank trusting him to hold width on the left. His boot let him down for Newcastle\u2019s corner that led to the goal, as he could not get into position in time after trying to rectify the problem. 6.5.<\/p>\n

Rodrigo Bentancur<\/a> \u2013Spurs have been far too easy to play through in this tie, often looking outnumbered in midfield. Bentancur has kept things ticking with neat sideways passes but hasn\u2019t imposed himself enough. 5.5.<\/p>\n

Pape Matar Sarr<\/a> \u2013 Industrious as ever, helping out defensively, but he could offer more both in attack and in his pressing. 5.<\/p>\n

Lucas Bergvall<\/a> \u2013 Lively in spells and involved in much of Tottenham\u2019s attacking play. Had a good chance to play in Richarlison but misplaced his cross behind the Brazilian. 6.5.<\/p>\n

Xavi Simons<\/a> \u2013 No real quality from the Dutchman, who\u2019s been overpowered by Newcastle\u2019s physical midfield and defence at times when he\u2019s got on the ball. He has been good in transition and managed to get an effort on goal, but he did not hit the target. 4.<\/p>\n

Richarlison<\/a> \u2013 More involved this time, dropping deeper to link play. Had an early effort blocked by Newcastle\u2019s back line. He had a really good chance late on in the first half, but his headed effort was straight at Ramsdale. 6.<\/p>\n

Brennan Johnson<\/a> \u2013 The Welshman hasn\u2019t had a clear sight of goal. Had a chance to deliver into the box but scuffed his cross out for a goal-kick. Did, however, combine well with Bergvall on one occasion, but the Swede\u2019s final ball was behind Richarlison. 5.<\/p>\n
