Tottenham player ratings vs Copenhagen: 9/10 and four 8/10s incredible in rout

Tottenham secured a 4-0 victory over FC Copenhagen in the Champions League on Tuesday evening, despite being reduced to 10 men. The North London team were keen to bounce back after their disappointing performance against Chelsea in Saturday's derby. Head coach Thomas Frank was without Lucas Bergvall due to concussion protocol, while Mohammed Kudus and Djed Spence missed Monday's training session at Hotspur Way.

Although Spence made it to the bench, Kudus was absent from the squad. Brennan Johnson broke the deadlock 19 minutes into the game. Xavi Simons delivered a flawless pass to the Welsh international, who then skilfully manoeuvred past the goalkeeper and netted a beautiful goal from outside the box.

Randal Kolo Muani squandered a few significant opportunities late in the second half but redeemed himself in the 51st minute. He chased down a long ball from Pedro Porro and managed to intercept the goalkeeper's attempted clearance.

The Frenchman then expertly controlled the ball before setting up Wilson Odobert to score the second goal.

However, the match seemed to take a negative turn when Johnson was sent off after the referee reviewed his tackle on Marcos Lopez, which had caught the Copenhagen player's heel.

Tottenham delivered a double blow to their opponents. First, Micky van de Ven sprinted from the edge of his own penalty area, continuing his run before slotting a shot past the goalkeeper inside the left-hand post.

Then, Spurs struck again as Odobert dashed up the pitch and passed the ball to Romero, who had kept pace with the Frenchman. The captain then fired it across to substitute Joao Palhinha to slide home via the keeper's hand.

There was still time for academy striker Dane Scarlett to win a penalty after some impressive play to get into the box before he was tripped. Richarlison sent the resulting penalty crashing off the crossbar and not quite over the line, as he had done with a header not long before.

Here are our Spurs player ratings from the Champions League victory...

Guglielmo Vicario

He didn't have much to do but handled crosses well and sprinted the length of the pitch to celebrate Van de Ven's wonder goal. 7.

Pedro Porro

Active down the right and curled the long ball over the top that Kolo Muani did well with to set up Odobert's goal. 7.

Cristian Romero

Spurs just look so much better with their skipper at the back and he showed great energy to keep up with Odobert and set up Palhinha's goal. 8.

Micky van de Ven

What a goal!

The Dutchman's execution was reminiscent of Son Heung-min, as he collected the ball from Bentancur's challenge on the edge of the Spurs box and sprinted the length of the pitch before firing past the goalkeeper and inside his near post. 9.

Destiny Udogie

He brought balance to the left with his driving runs and occasionally moved inside to allow Odobert to go wide. His presence improved the team's forward momentum. 7.

Pape Matar Sarr

His energy was a significant boost for Spurs throughout the match, particularly when they were reduced to 10 men. 7.

Rodrigo Bentancur

From the get-go, he pressed and won the ball back for Van de Ven's goal. He's an essential part of the Spurs machine, and they need him to replicate this performance against United. 8.

Xavi Simons

He provided a fantastic assist with his curling pass into Johnson's path. He tried to make things happen and should have had a second first-half assist after setting up Kolo Muani in front of goal and another ball to the Frenchman just before half-time that was headed over.

After Johnson's red card, he was substituted for Palhinha and was understandably upset. 8.

Brennan Johnson

He opened the scoring with a good run beyond the keeper and an excellent finish from out wide and outside the box. He set up Sarr for a headed chance with a run and cross.

His red card was harsh, and he'll now miss three games after what had been a bright performance until that point. 7.

Randal Kolo Muani

Started off with a bang and could have netted twice before half-time following excellent work from Xavi, one shot wide and the other headed over. Showed great skill in setting up Odobert for Spurs' second goal and demonstrated plenty of quality throughout the match, despite those two misses. 7.

Wilson Odobert

Worked well with Xavi as they both shone down the left and through the centre. Earned his goal from Kolo Muani's pass.

Played a key role in most of Spurs' best moments. 8.

Subs

Joao Palhinha

Scored another goal with a finish from Romero's pass. 7.

Djed Spence

Came on late to replace Udogie and made several runs down the left. 6.

Richarlison

Hit the crossbar twice, once with a header and once with a penalty, both times the ball bounced back on the wrong side of the goal line. 6.

Kevin Danso

Helped Spurs maintain their clean sheet after replacing Romero. 6.

Dane Scarlett

Made a notable late appearance with plenty of impressive touches and won the penalty that he was eager to take himself in front of the south stand. 7.
