Tottenham

Hugo Lloris: Stopped everything Dortmund could muster in first half. 6Juan Foyth: Looked nervy early on but found his confidence as the game progressed and produced two timely clearances. 6Davison Sanchez: Sancho ran him ragged early on but he grew into the test. 6Toby Alderweireld: Like his partner, was solid throughout and added vital experience at the back when Dortmund pressed. 7Serge Aurier: Found it tough in first half but delivered a wonderful cross for Vertonghens goal. 6Moussa Sissoko: Some wayward passes but another good showing. 6Harry Winks: Another fine all round performance from the midfielder on the big stage. 7Tottenham star Son Heung-Min4

Jan Vertonghen: Superb performance from left-back. Set up Sons opener with a wicked cross before volleying home Spurs second with aplomb. 9Christian Eriksen: Struggled to find his range at times but his perfect corner saw Llorente head home the third. 7Son Heung-Min: Another tireless display and was fantastic in the second half. Fired home the opener just after the break. 8Lucas Moura: Failed to find his team-mates at times but was dangerous and worked hard. 6SubstitutesFernando Llorente: Came on with five minutes remaining and took seconds to score what could be a vital header. 7Victor Wanyama: Last-minute substitute. N/AUnused subs: Trippier, Rose, Lamela, Gazzaniga, SkippTottenham star Fernando Llorente4

Borussia Dortmund

Roman Burki: Strange decision making in first half went unpunished. Had no chance with either goal and did little else wrong. 5Achraf Hakimi: Attacked with menace in first half but Spurs pushed him back after the break and Vertonghen caught him sleeping to set up opener. 5Omer Toprak: Will be disappointed with all three goals. 4Dan-Axel Zagadou: Was good in the first half but caught out for Sons opener before being taken off. 5Abdou Diallo: Couldnt get into the game in second half. 4Mahmoud Dahoud: Produced some terrific passes but faded. 6Axel Witsel: A solid presence in front of the defence and the goals were not his fault. 5Thomas Delaney: Put his body on the line several times and his night deserved a better outcome. 6Borussia Dortmund star Jadon Sancho4

Jadon Sancho: The England winger showed his incredible talent in the first 45 and he could have had at least one goal and one assist. Went missing after half-time. 6Christian Pulisic: Like Sancho, was very dangerous to start off but couldnt keep it going. Lost possession too often. 5Mario Gotze: Some lovely touches but not the best game for the World Cup winner after being deployed in a tricky role as the solo striker. 5SubstitutesRaphael Guerreiro: On late but had a fierce shot that flew just wide. 6Marcel Schmelzer: Did little of note and was on the pitch for Tottenhams second and third. 4Bruun Larsen: Last-minute substitute. N/AUnused subs: Philipp, Wolf, Hitz, Balerdi.
