How the Tottenham players rated vs AS Monaco<\/p>\n
Guglielmo Vicario<\/a> \u2013 Picked up right where he left off in the first half, once again bailing Tottenham Hotspur out with a string of fine saves. More of the same after the break, commanding and composed throughout. Could easily be handed the Man of the Match award after making eight saves. 9.<\/p>\n Pedro Porro<\/a> \u2013 AS Monaco found it far too easy to get in behind down his flank, combining neatly with one-touch football that often left him out of position. Offered little going forward, with poor crossing from deep and a generally ineffective display. 5.<\/p>\n Kevin Danso<\/a> \u2013 Not a convincing defensive performance as Monaco carved through Tottenham almost at will. Could and should have done better alongside Micky van de Ven. His long throws did provide a rare attacking outlet. 6.<\/p>\n Micky van de Ven<\/a> \u2013 Spurs might have kept a clean sheet, but it owed more to Vicario\u2019s brilliance and Monaco\u2019s wastefulness than the captain\u2019s defensive organisation. The French side found space in behind far too often. 6.<\/p>\n Archie Gray<\/a> \u2013 Monaco did not target his side much. Started brightly with overlapping runs and good energy, but faded as the game wore on and possession swung heavily in Monaco\u2019s favour. 6. <\/p>\n Rodrigo Bentancur<\/a> \u2013 Offered little invention on the ball and allowed Monaco to pass through midfield far too easily. Replaced by Pape Matar Sarr early in the second half after another quiet showing. 5.<\/p>\n Joao Palhinha<\/a> \u2013 Showed more aggression after the restart, snapping into tackles and breaking up play with better timing. Looked sharper and far more engaged than in the first half. 7.<\/p>\n Lucas Bergvall<\/a> \u2013 A night to forget. Struggled to get into the game and looked off the pace throughout. Withdrawn on the hour mark for Xavi Simons. 4.<\/p>\n Mohammed Kudus<\/a> \u2013 Tottenham looked to counter, but Monaco\u2019s double-marking again stifled him. Rarely beat his man and failed to make a meaningful impact. 5.<\/p>\n![\"FBL-EUR-C1-MONACO-TOTTENHAM\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/GettyImages-2242288300-1024x683.jpg\")
