Sports Mole rates the individual performances of those involved in Tottenham's 3-0 win at West Brom in the Premier League.

Tottenham Hotspur maintained their chances of a top-four finish on Saturday with a comfortable 3-0 win at West Bromwich Albion.

The visitors took the lead through Christian Eriksen's perfectly-executed free kick on seven minutes, while Harry Kane fired the ball past Ben Foster to make it 2-0 just six minutes later.

Spurs then sealed the points midway through the second half when Kane scored from the penalty spot, taking his tally to 20 goals for the season.

Sports Mole assesses the individual performances of those involved on a good day for Tottenham at The Hawthorns.


WEST BROM

Goal

Ben Foster: Not a good afternoon for the West Brom goalkeeper, who failed to assert his authority between the sticks. (5/10)

Defence

Andre Wisdom: Made some good runs in wide areas, but was occasionally made to look out of his depth when forced to defend. (6/10)

Gareth McAuley: Struggled to make an impact at the back on a difficult day for the whole of the West Brom defence. (5/10)

Joleon Lescott: Looked the most assured presence in West Brom's back four, though he also was made to appear overwhelmed at times. Gave away a penalty midway through the second half for a handball, which he could have avoided. (6/10)

Craig Dawson: Just another body at the back that attempted in vain to soak up the pressure that Spurs were putting on the hosts. Had a good header which struck the crossbar. (5/10)

Midfield

Callum McManaman: A subdued debut for the new signing, who cut an isolated figure out on the right wing before coming off in the second half. (5/10)

Claudio Yacob: Mixed it up with the opposition in midfield, providing West Brom with a bit of mettle in a key area. (6/10)

James Morrison: Huffed and puffed, but to little effect. Showed glimpses of what he is capable of with some decent passing and good vision. (6/10)

Chris Brunt: Worked hard to offer his team some creativity in midfield, though his crossing from the left was often poor. (6/10)

Attack

Saido Berahino: Despite failing to set the game alight, the striker gave Tottenham's defence a few things to think about. Could have got on the scoresheet on another day. (6/10)

Victor Anichebe: Troubled Tottenham's larger defenders with his physical approach. Also showed the other side of his game by contributing to West Brom's quick counter-attacks. (6/10)

Substitutes

Brown Ideye: The club's record signing did little of note when he came on with 30 minutes remaining. (5/10)

Craig Gardner: Roused the home supporters during the final half an hour, though he could not provide that telling piece of attacking play when it was needed. (6/10)

Graham Dorrans: Was brought on with two minutes left and did not have the time to light up proceedings. (5/10)


SPURS

Goal

Hugo Lloris: Another fine showing from the Frenchman, who pulled off a couple of brilliant saves to keep West Brom at bay. (8/10)

Defence

Kyle Walker: Was often found marauding down the right flank. Also worked hard to get back to perform his defensive duties. (7/10)

Federico Fazio: Looked shaky during one or two spells of play, though the Argentine was solid for the most part. (7/10)

Jan Vertonghen: Helped to organise Spurs at the back and worked well with Fazio in the heart of their defence. (7/10)

Danny Rose: While Walker was bombing up and down the right, Rose was doing a similar job on the left. Made a vital clearance in the second half that thwarted West Brom. (7/10)

Midfield

Paulinho: A quiet 90 minutes for the Brazilian, who did little to suggest that he remains an important part of Mauricio Pochettino's plans. (6/10)

Ryan Mason: Went diligently about his business in midfield, keeping Spurs ticking over with some neat passing and energetic tackling. (7/10)

Erik Lamela: A typical Lamela performance in that he drifted in and out of the game during the course of the 90 minutes. (6/10)

Moussa Dembele: A dynamic presence for Spurs, the Belgian ran tirelessly and contributed in advanced areas before he was substituted with 30 minutes left. (7/10)

Christian Eriksen: Got the visitors off to a flying start with a well-taken goal before he pulled the strings between midfield and attack. (7/10)

Attack

Harry Kane: Worked his socks off for the cause and capped a superb showing with two goals. His hunger, passion and commitment shone through. (9/10)

Substitutes

Nacer Chadli: Was given half an hour to show what he could do, but he struggled to have an influence as Spurs coasted. (5/10)

Benjamin Stambouli: Added a bit of bite to Tottenham's midfield for the final quarter of an hour or so. (6/10)

Roberto Soldado: Was introduced with two minutes of normal time remaining and barely had a touch. (5/10)
