Vicario answers his critics to earn Spurs a point

Goalkeeper & Defence

Guglielmo Vicario (9/10):

A top performance by the goalkeeper. His three saves from Balogun in the first half prevented the home side being out of sight, while his point-blank reaction stop from Teze preserved a point. The Italian shot-stopper brought his very best on the European stage.

Pedro Porro (6/10):

The Spaniard played his part to ensure a point was earnt, but had a tough evening as Monaco created chances from all angles.

Micky van de Ven (7/10):

Captain for the night, Van de Ven made a few crucial interventions to ensure his side left with a point. Came close with a header which flashed over at the other end.

Kevin Danso (7/10):

Put in a solid display at the back and has proven a worthy understudy for Cristian Romero. Vicario will get the headlines, but Spurs' entire defensive unit had a role to play in the shut-out.

Archie Gray (8/10):

Making his first ever Champions League start, but you would never have been able to tell. Incredibly comfortable playing in several different positions, Gray made several key interceptions and tackles, barely putting a foot wrong for his side.

Midfield

Joao Palhinha (7/10):

Did his job effectively and made some great tackles, though it was a tough job against the likes of Akliouche, who drifted across the attacking positions for Monaco.

Rodrigo Bentancur (5/10):

Struggled to exert any control in the middle of the park as Spurs were second best for long periods. Taken off after an hour to be replaced by Sarr.

Lucas Bergvall (4/10):

Wasn't his finest showing. The Swede was dispossessed in his own half on a couple of occasions, twice bailed out by his goalkeeper with Balogun looking a certainty to score. Playing in a more attacking midfield area, he contributed little to chance creation at the other end and was withdrawn alongside Bentancur on the hour mark.

Attack

Mohammed Kudus (6/10):

The Ghanaian's delivery continues to be impressive from the right, though he made less of a game-changing difference than in other recent fixtures and struggled to get into the game in the second half.

Richarlison (5/10):

Did not have as much service as he would have liked on his return to the side. One first-half opportunity was comfortably saved.

Wilson Odobert (7/10):

Showed a sign of things to come as he got in behind and flashed a ball across goal after just 15 seconds. The 20-year-old Frenchman justified his selection and was one of Spurs' biggest outlets, setting up chances for Richarlison and Van de Ven with great pieces of footwork in the mix. Faded slightly in the second half and was withdrawn by Frank after picking up a knock.

Subs & Manager

Pape Matar Sarr (6/10):

Was not able to turn the tide in midfield but did his share defensively to keep out the home side, while his ball across led to arguably Spurs' best chance of the day for Johnson.

Xavi Simons (4/10):

Brought on to make something happen but appeared short on ideas. Appeared content to slow down rare attacks rather than play a killer final ball, while a shooting chance from range flew well over the crossbar.

Randal Kolo Muani (5/10):

Struggled to get into the game following his introduction, but showed a willingness to run for his side as they held out for a point.

Brennan Johnson (5/10):

Could have been the hero late on, but it was not to be. Continues to suffer from a lack of minutes in recent weeks, and tonight's match demonstrated that Kudus and Odobert remain ahead of him in the pecking order.

Djed Spence (6/10):

Replaced Kudus late on as Spurs looked to shore things up at the back, and Spence did the job required of him.

Thomas Frank (6/10):

It was far from a vintage performance by his side, but they came away with a valuable point. Had it not been for Vicario's heroics and some wayward finishing by the hosts, though, Spurs would have had no complaints at returning to London with nothing.
