Tough one today. Few standouts. PEH just shades it for me.

So many standout in terms of the defence. Where did this Aurier bloke come from ? Looks decent.
 
This gets harder every week!
I think Hojbjerg just tipped it with his celebration at the end when he snuffed out another attack. :D
Aurier was immense.
Kane was Kane, Sissoko was Sissoko, and Son was Son.

This, plus the defence were incredibly well drilled, but ALSO in the end I had to vote for Harry Kane. The guy carries the squad on his back, he is captain, leader, legend, record builder, goalscorer, creator, best defender, midfielder, manager, hero. And I keep voting for PEH so I'm gonna give Harry some cred.

So many candidates today.

Lloris - always looked assured
Aurier - a revelation
Dier - a rock
Toby - miraculous intervention
Regi - they will not pass on my side
Sissoko - barnstorming firefighter
PEH - a joy in CM, he was everywhere
Kane - majestic in defence and attack
Son - a wonderful wonderful goal and assist

A difficult decision, but probably PEH just shades it for me

I think that it is largely down to being given a defined role. Mourinho has generally got the best out of him by giving him simple instructions.

As I said in another thread, it’s a combination of becoming accustomed to the league and that we are defending better as a team so the defenders are not under so much pressure. If opposing teams were able to waltz through our midfield as they were previously or we return to playing a high line with no pressure on the opposing team, then the old “Aurier” will probably resurface.
 
Kane nailed every position through the center of the pitch. He was the link-up midfielder opening up space for Son to score. He was the lethal finisher himself. And he headed away countless crosses into our box. If he'd been playing CB plaudits would have commented on how effective he was. A goal, an assist and a rock for us defensively, he was clearly mom.
