How Spurs and Coventry City's players rated following their Premier League match.

Maddison shines on return - Tottenham v Coventry ratings

Tottenham finally got their first Premier League win of the season against Coventry City.

Here's how I rated the players and you can see how you scored them below.

Premier League: Tottenham squeeze past Coventry to end winless start - reaction

What do BBC Sport's player ratings mean?

Antonin Kinsky: Fumbled first-half corner and not great with his feet. 5

Tosin Adarabioyo: Powerful in the air and did well in the physical challenges until he went off injured. 6

Jan Paul van Hecke: Disappointing night. Uncertain moments and lost possession for Coventry City's goal, but did make one brave clearance. 5

Micky van de Ven: Superb tackle to stop Brandon Thomas-Asante in the first half and solid all-round display. 7

Archie Gray: Busy and did his best to give Spurs some creative edge. 6

Sandro Tonali: Occasional flashes but still struggles to justify his £100m price tag. Needs to produce more. 6

James Maddison: Brilliant strike on his first start for 18 months. Always prompting and probing. Revelled in his return to the starting line-up until understandably tiring. 8

Andrew Robertson: Some trademark surging runs and always willing to join the attack but picked up an injury. 6

Mohammed Kudus: Mixed night. Some good things but too often short of end product. 5

Omar Marmoush: Had struggled but then scored a superb goal. 6

Dominic Solanke: Tireless but little luck. Booked and had a shot on the turn over in first half. 5

Conor Gallagher (on 69, Maddison): Not able to get into the game. 5

Mateus Fernandes (on 69, Tosin): Little impact. 5

Ben Davies (on 69, Robertson): Experienced head to close out the win and got himself a goal. 6

Mathys Tel (on 87 Marmoush).

Dejan Kulusevski (on 87 Kudus).

Subs not used: Dubravka, Senesi, Olusesi, Williams-Barnett.

Carl Rushworth: No chance with first two goals but a horror show for the third from Ben Davies. 5

Milan van Ewijk: Long throws a threat, especially in the first half. Caught an elbow when trying to challenge Marmoush for his goal. 6

Bobby Thomas: Vital headed clearance and tower of strength in defence. 7

Ethan Pinnock: Another dependable performance as Coventry looked solid and well-organised at the back. 6

Jay Dasilva: Quiet night. Booked for challenge on Kudus. 5

Caleb Yirenkyi: Not able to exert much influence and was substituted. Booked for a poor challenge on Gray. 5

Matt Grimes: Always busy but not able to have a significant impact. 5

Brandon Thomas-Asante: Industrious and was only denied a goal by Van de Ven's superb first-half tackle. 6

Jack Rudoni: Showed great determination to bustle his way through for his goal. 7

Tatsuhiro Sakamoto: Some dangerous deliveries and had a good chance in the first half. 6

Sidiki Cherif: Some nice lay-offs and full of effort. Hurt his shoulder in an awkward fall. 6

Frank Onyeka (on, 60 Yirenkyi): No effect. 5

Taiwo Awoniyi (on 60, Cherif): Bustling but unable to provide threat. 5

Ephron Mason-Clark (on 78, Thomas-Asante).

Gustavo Hamer (on 78, Sakamoto).

Kaine Kesler-Hayden (on 87, Rudoni).

Subs not used: Bentley, Simms, Mfuni, Torp.
