Hart for me - started the three player move that resulted in a goal, and kept a clean sheet. Captain's performance.

Kolorov was good, his performance was much better because Spurs allowed him all the space.

Hart's was just superb, save he made for Mason's shot was just incredible, with numerous other saves he made and the superb throw to silva for aguero goal !!

If you didnt think Hart deserved it, you are anything but right.

Same here, a real team performance today, especially with the pressure of not finishing 4th.

Hart for me. I don't know if anyone else noticed, but the throw to Silva for our goal was with his left hand. That was pure magic!

Can I just say that Sergio was immense, forcing players to pick their arses up and play real football.

AK. Very solid performance and some really good blocks at the back.

I have to say though that after reading some of the arguments for Hart's MOTM award I almost changed my mind.

I liked Ferns performances too, both were solid in the middle.
Silva ran the game for us as usual and Sergio's finishing proved to be the difference yet again

Didn't see the whole team choice until later and I would have cast my vote for that. However Hart had a great performance today and deserves to be a stand out. Maybe we should keep him as captain permanently ?

He was near outstanding and has to be singled out for praise. Fair enough, he had the day-to-day stuff that most would expect but the way he comes out and shots players up was unfathomable. That 10 minute block (well, 3 seconds actually) on Kane where he then blocks it was one of the best I've seen, just immense.

Not even Carl could falter that performance, he was that good.

The question I have is, 'Why do we pull together like we did when Yaya was out?'.

Hart for me with the saves and untypical distribution (although kicks were still crap) but also the best game Kolarov has had in a while. He saved us a couple of times, a couple of crosses and that great shot
It may be my last year as a season ticket holder as it just doesn't seem the same with so few English and local players (but I said that last year)

Aguero the match winner for me, could have had a couple more and should have had a pen as well.

He looked dangerous again which is what I've been looking for.
