5 players who have tormented Tottenham Hotspur over the years

#3 Cristiano Ronaldo | Manchester United

Tottenham Hotspur v Manchester United - Premier League

While Ronaldo is a ruthless goalscorer against most clubs, the Tottenham faithful will be happy that he didn't spend most of his career at Manchester United. While at La Liga, Cristiano Ronaldo scored a stunning 27 goals against Sevilla in just 18 games. Against Spurs, however, the legendary striker has scored 11 goals and assisted six more in just 19 games.

It doesn't help that Ronaldo is back at United where he can torment the north London side once more. In their most recent meeting late last year, Ronaldo guided the Red Devils to a 3-0 win against Spurs with a goal and an assist to boot. His goalscoring record against Tottenham Hotspur in the UCL was perfect: Ronaldo scored a goal in every single clash between Real Madrid and Spurs.

#2 Sergio Aguero | Manchester City legend

Tottenham Hotspur v Manchester City - Premier League

Although he moved to Barcelona and recently retired, Sergio Aguero's heroics for Manchester City gave him legendary status at the Etihad Stadium. In more recent EPL games facing Spurs spanning from 2015, Aguero scored just one goal against the club. Yet, his ruthlessness in front of goal from previous years won't easily be forgotten by the Tottenham Hotspur faithful.

Between 2011 to 2015, Aguero stunned Spurs with ten goals and one assist in just seven games. Two particular games will stand out in Spurs' memory.

One would be City's 6-0 routing of the north London side in 2013 when Aguero scored a brace.

The other major occasion was Aguero's four goals against Tottenham Hotspur in 2014. City won the match 4-0.

He may have slowed down against Tottenham over the years, but his clinical marksmanship can hardly be forgotten.

Overall, he has 12 goals and four assists in 18 matches against Tottenham.

#1 Alan Shearer | Newcastle United legend

Leicester City v Manchester United: Emirates FA Cup Quarter Final

Alan Shearer played for Southampton prior to the start of the Premier League and he scored just once against Tottenham in that period. However, in the EPL, Shearer was absolutely ruthless against the north London side, scoring 19 goals and assisting seven more in just 34 games.

Although he is legendary for his time at Newcastle United, Shearer's stint as a Blackburn striker was too much for Tottenham to handle.

The PL legend managed seven goals in seven league games against Spurs while with Blackburn, scoring a goal in nearly every match. While the EPL saw Shearer score just five goals in 15 games against Spurs, Newcastle were unstoppable when facing Tottenham in the FA Cup.

The Magpies never lost a cup game to the Spurs when Shearer played, and the legendary attacker managed four goals in four FA Cup games.
