Tottenham player ratings vs Brighton – Mohammed Kudus saves his team, 3/10 star appalling
Tottenham battled back to secure a 2-2 draw away at Brighton on Saturday afternoon.
The Lilywhites have made a bright start to the new Premier League campaign, and they showed great resolve to claw back a two-goal deficit and earn a point on the South Coast.
Tottenham do not have a good record at Brighton in recent years, but a close-range strike from Richarlison and a late own goal from Jan Paul van Hecke cancelled out efforts from Yankuba Minteh and Yasin Ayari for the hosts.
Thomas Frank will be annoyed with the way the game panned out for his side, and with that in mind, Tottenham News rates the performance of every visiting player out of 10.
Mohammed Kudus superb for Tottenham in 9/10 display
Mohammed Kudus has been brilliant for Tottenham since his arrival from West Ham in the summer, and he already looks to be a shrewd acquisition for his new side.
The Ghana international caught the eye with his strength and direct running once again on Saturday, and he was a thorn in the side of the hosts all afternoon.
| Stats | Kudus Total |
| Accurate Passes | 22/26 (85%) |
| Big Chances Created | 1 |
| Successful Dribbles | 6 |
| xG + xA | 0.27 |
| Key Passes | 2 |
He completed 85% of his passes in the clash, and his tally of six successful dribbles was higher than anybody else on the pitch.
Kudus also created one big chance for his side and delivered the cross that was diverted home by Jan Paul van Hecke for the late equaliser.
The 25-year-old was the shining light for his team, and was worthy of a 9/10 rating after an impressive display.
Guglielmo Vicario costs his team with 3/10 showing
Guglielmo Vicario has been solid for Tottenham between the posts in the last few seasons, but he let himself down with his performance on Saturday.
The goalkeeper simply didn’t do enough to keep out Ayari’s strike from distance in the first half, as he was deceived by the swerving shot.
That error appeared to have flustered the gloveman somewhat, as he was not his typical steady self for the remainder of the game.
Vicario completed just 50% of his long passes against the Seagulls, and was almost beaten in embarrassing fashion by Lewis Dunk’s free-kick from the halfway line.
The Italian looked shaky on Saturday, with his error almost costing his team a result, and his performance was only worth of 3/10 rating.
