Dele stood out for me today. He exposed Jorginho. Honourable shouts to Aurier, Son, Foyth and... in fact the whole team. Superb.

I'm glad you put a "collective effort" option on the poll, because I honestly couldn't have picked a MOTM. We made a very good side look extremely ordinary today. Fantastic performance from everyone.
Sonny's goal is my favourite moment of the season so far.

totally messed me up there, was going to go for none deserved, and when someone flagged it up, I was going to say that not 1 individual but was a MotT effort defended superbly bar their goal, worked our arses off, passed the ball well, and closed the ball well all over the pitch

Loved it in the first half when he went down ‘injured’ I expect he was begging to come off
I hate to break to you buddy but Hugo is the captain of our ship

Lloris – 7: Thought he took command, came out at the right time, made some smart saves (though Morata was offside for half the match it wouldn't have mattered) and couldn't do anything about Giroud's goal.
Aurier – 7: Dangerous going forward, whipped in some lovely balls and looked strong in defence. Paired nicely with Sissoko.
Foyth – 7: Risky challenge on Hazard; would have been a penalty if fat-ass's reputation didn't go against him. Other than that, handled the pressure of a Spurs/Chelsea derby very well.
Alderweireld – 8: Mr Cool. Will miss him when/if he goes. Always knows where to be. Great for Foyth, too.
Davies – 7: Grew into the game. Was really hounding the Chelsea players late on. Always looking to press. Loved watching it from him. Wasn't afraid to pass forward with more incision.
Dier – 7: Got stuck in, did his job. Good performance when he really needed one.
Sissoko – 8: Another strong performance. Continuously winning the ball back, driving forward and looking to transition. Should have an assist for his lovely play down the right in the second half only for Kane to miss a sitter. MOTM contender.
Son – 9: Even when he wasn't scoring he seemed our most dangerous players. Chelsea were in knots running away from him. Great to see him back to his best. And that goal was sublime. By the time he'd weaved past Luiz into the box I was wondering who on earth he was going to pass it to, until hang on he's going to sho-the rest is history. Brilliant performance. MOTM.
Eriksen – 8: Also excellent. His vision is second-to-none, accentuated by that pass to Son at the end of the first half. Neat, intricate, deadly.
Alli – 8: Does what he does best in big games. Always involved, looking to win the ball back. Him and Son are just priceless on this form. Also loved him riling up Jorginho at the end when he knew he could afford to.
Kane – 8: Scored a goal, could have had a hat-trick. But his hold-up play and passing continues to go overlooked, despite it being everything to us again today. What a player.
Winksy didn't have time to do much but an 8 for him, too.
Same for Lamela. Loved him dummying Hazard. The prick.

Son just edged, but Alli was sublime. Alli's ball control is phenomenal at times, he just goes past players with ease at times. What a talent. Son's best game in a while.

I don't know who that "Deli" fella is in the poll, but I thought Dele was pretty clearly MotM. Not only did he get his goal and was excellent on the ball, but his man marking job on the hitherto excellent Jorginho was outstanding. He was incredibly disciplined and gave him no time to face forward and pick his pass.
For the record, I feel every single player was superb today. But how about Sissoko? The turnaround in his game has been nothing short of miraculous. Well done to him, Poch, and anyone who's worked with him over the past few months.
Aurier also deserving of praise today too. THAT'S a right back who can rightfully replace Walker.

I've always been so curious to why managers like Deschamp rated him.. It has taken me two years to see that there is a sublime athlete and an OK footballer, and when the two meet at maximum potential, we see a highly effective player.. I only hope he can maintain these levels

Fine team performance.
Could have voted for any 5 from 6
but leaving it as an ensemble effort.
Good to see the proper press return
and general competence defensively
and flair in attack.
Thought Son had wasted his chances
but got the vital 3rd
with the goal of the season.
Shout out for Mauricio
who got selection and inspiration spot on.

I thought Dele’s work off the ball was the best I have seen from a Spurs player for ages. Not only his covering of Jorginho that BT highlighted but his runs were absolutely fantastic .
