Tottenham Hotspur took on QPR on Saturday afternoon at Loftus Road in a pre-season friendly and here are our first half player ratings.
Ange Postecoglou switched up his team slightly from midweek with Pape Matar Sarr back from injury, while Timo Werner came into the first half side as did Lucas Bergvall with Dejan Kulusevski, Manor Solomon, and James Maddison on the bench for the second half. Archie Gray and Oliver Skipp continued as makeshift centre-backs against QPR, who finished 18th in the Championship last season under Marti Cifuentes.
Lacking quality in his final ball but defended solidly enough as the only player in his natural position in the backline. 6
Archie Gray
Another solid and composed display from the 18-year-old and he had plenty more to deal with this time. 7
Oliver Skipp
Made some important early interceptions and battled away throughout the first half with Jamie Donley
A bright start before a misplaced pass was cut out on the edge of Spurs' box and he was fortunate Porro bailed him out. Made another loose pass 19 minutes. Made a couple of tackles after that to regain his confidence. 6
Pape Matar Sarr
Back from injury and he made one early run that ended with a blocked shot. He was a busy present in the middle of the pitch. 7
Yves Bissouma
Looked strong and dominant on the ball. Curled an effort over the bar 16 minutes in but made no mistake with a fantastic goal, playing a one-two with Kulusevski before rounding the keeper to score. 9
Lucas Bergvall
A confident start, using the ball well, with his team-mates happy to give him it in tight spots. However, he went down in the 24th minute with an injury and was taken off, looking gutted. Hopefully it was just precautionary. 8
Brennan Johnson
Some wasteful early play before powering down the right past his man and teeing up Son for a big chance. 5
Son Heung-min
Playing in the centre of attack again he worked hard and had a big opportunity to open the scoring midway through the hall but shot at the keeper. 6
Timo Werner
Struggled to make an impact and had a late chance when he ran through but the keeper saved.
