Sports Mole looks at who impressed during the goalless draw between Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea at White Hart Lane.

Tottenham Hotspur made it a club-record 13 Premier League games without defeat with a goalless draw against Chelsea at White Hart Lane this afternoon.

Son Heung-min and Eden Hazard had the best chances for either side throughout the course of the match, but neither were able to make the most of them as the spoils were shared.

Here, Sports Mole looks at who stood out during an evenly-matched London derby.


TOTTENHAM

Goal

Hugo Lloris: Only had one shot on target to face, but dealt with that very well to deny Hazard. Had one or two lapses in communication with his defenders, though. (7/10)

Defence

Kyle Walker: Didn't get too much joy going forward but also didn't give too much away at the other end of the field. (6/10)

Toby Alderweireld: One slight error aside, he didn't put a foot wrong. Dealt with the unfamiliar concept of a false nine well and helped to limit Chelsea to just one shot on target. (7/10)

Jan Vertonghen: Similarly strong performance to the man beside him as the Belgian partnership continues to thrive. Was also good on the ball and launched a few attacks. (7/10)

Danny Rose: Was not given an easy time of things by Willian in a good tussle between the pair. Unable to contribute much in an attacking sense. (6/10)

Midfield

Ryan Mason: Full of running and certainly puts in the yards, but at times the quality was lacking and he didn't show much to suggest that he would make it into a full-strength Spurs side. Forced off injured after a good burst into the box in the second half. (6/10)

Eric Dier: Continues to look like a natural at the base of the midfield. Kept Oscar very quiet and was not at all fazed by the fact that he had to keep an eye on Hazard dropping deep from the false nine position too. (7/10)

Mousa Dembele: Such a presence in midfield. It looked like a man against a boy at times when Fabregas tried to take the ball off him. Influential at both ends of the pitch in what was a man-of-the-match display. (7/10)

Christian Eriksen: Faded as the match wore on having asked a few questions of the Chelsea defence in the opening 45 minutes. (6/10)

Son Heung-min: Had Tottenham's two best chances, but fired both straight at the keeper when he probably should have done better. Full of energy and looked bright, but those two misses proved costly. (6/10)

Attack

Harry Kane: Worked his socks off looking to score in a seventh consecutive game in all competitions, but to no avail. Chances were at a premium for him, with his best effort being saved by Begovic in the opening 20 minutes. (6/10)

Substitutes

Erik Lamela: Replaced the injured Mason and showed one or two glimpses, but was unable to come up with anything substantial. (6/10)

Clinton N'Jie: Handed 15 minutes at the end but didn't have a chance to stretch his legs going forward in that time. (6/10)


CHELSEA

Goal

Asmir Begovic: Called into action to deny Kane, Dembele and Son, and was equal to the challenge on each occasion. Also bravely intercepted a couple of crosses at the near post with Kane flying in. (7/10)

Defence

Branislav Ivanovic: Better from the stand-in skipper, who has struggled for much of the season. Focused more on his defensive duties and was solid at the back as a result. (6/10)

Kurt Zouma: In for the injured Terry and put in an assured display to negate the impact of the free-scoring Kane. (7/10)

Gary Cahill: Part of a defensive quartet that looked a step closer to the unit that gave so little up last season. An improvement on much of this campaign. (7/10)

Cesar Azpilicueta: Was unusually the more attacking of the two full-backs. Rarely wavers from a solid performance and today was no different. (6/10)

Midfield

Cesc Fabregas: Still short of his best, and will need to show more in games where a draw may not be good enough for Chelsea, but today it was a decent performance in the middle of the park. (6/10)

Nemanja Matic: Another who is looking to build his way back up to last season's level, and this was one more small step in the right direction. Simply did his job as the holding midfield player - nothing more, nothing less. (6/10)

Willian: Did everything that was asked of him, never shirking his defensive duties and offering a threat both from open play and set pieces. (7/10)

Oscar: Not quite as involved as the other members of the front four due to Dier's presence, but did have a couple of bright moments in the game, including setting up Hazard for his first-half header. (6/10)

Pedro: Always looking to get on the scoresheet, but was ultimately unable to test Lloris with the few opportunities that did fall his way. Combined well with the likes of Hazard, though. (6/10)

Attack

Eden Hazard: Preferred to Costa up front and responded with one of his better performances this season. Squandered one headed chance in the first half but almost made up for that with a fine volley in the second that was saved by Lloris. Sharp and bright throughout. (7/10)

Substitutes

Kenedy: Wasn't brought on until the 89th minute and had no time to make a difference. (6/10)

Ruben Loftus-Cheek: Replaced Pedro in stoppage time as Chelsea saw out the game. (6/10)
