Player Ratings: Shamrock Rovers 0-4 Tottenham

Misjudged a couple of crosses, but there was little he could have done to stop any of the Spurs goals.

Generally kept more of a lid on things than Sullivan did on the opposite side, although he was troubled by the flair of Giovani on occasion.

The captain did his best to lead Shamrock from the back, but his task was a tough one against a lively Spurs group of attackers.

Quiet, he was withdrawn at half-time for O'Donnell, who showed more attacking intent.

Like Murray, he had a tough night, but did provide a threatening presence from set-pieces, shooting narrowly wide in the first half.

Strong and resolute in the centre of midfield, he tried to make life as difficult as possible for Spurs' playmakers and did a reasonable job.

Perhaps the most lively of Shamrock's attacking players, he cut inside threateningly and tested Cudicini from distance.

A dependable enough but not particularly noticeable performance in midfield. Withdrawn in the second half.

Overmatched by Assou-Ekotto, who subdued him effectively throughout the contest.

His intelligent running allowed Shamrock to get a foothold in the Spurs half. Struggled to find the space to really test Cudicini, but he will argue he was hauled down by Livermore when through on goal.

Did what was required, although he was lucky Sheppard was offside when his loose hand brought the striker down when through on goal.

Generally dependable, though he looked slightly less confident alongside the inexperienced Livermore than he would alongside one of Spurs' more regular central defenders.

Looked Tottenham's most comfortable defender despite playing out of position at right-back. Used his athleticism well defensively and often supplied a positive first pass.

A classy presence in the middle of the park, the Croatian provided a solid base in midfield, recycling possession intelligently from deep.

Very aggressive, he attacked positively but was sometimes wasteful with his crossing. Similarly, he was sometimes over-zealous when defending.

Defensively uncomfortable, he was perhaps lucky to stay on the pitch after appearing to haul down Sheppard with the striker through on goal. He is a midfielder and most of his better work came in possession.

Not a particularly noticeable presence in midfield.

Burst into life when moved to the left wing. Spurs' most dangerous outlet during their best spell of the match at the end of the first half, scoring one and setting up another.

Exciting when he found the ball in some space, as he showcased his ability to ghost past any player on the pitch. Too often, though, his final ball let him down.

A selfless performance from the England striker. Led the line well, linking up with the attacking midfielders supporting him effectively. Grabbed well-deserved goal at the end of the first half.
