đź”— Share this article Bentancur and Danso Endure Derby Days to Forget Gunners Squad Performance Reviews David Raya Rarely saw the ball as Arsenal controlled the game. Will be frustrated to have been caught napping by Richarlison. 6 JurriĂ«n Timber Seldom puts a foot wrong and was able to attack at will. Determination paid off in his assist for Eberechi Eze's second goal. 8 William Saliba Seldom challenged by Spurs' defensive approach. There will be tougher challenges to come in the next few weeks without his regular defensive partner. 7 Piero HincapiĂ© Appeared confident in deputising for Gabriel MagalhĂŁes. Lacks the his physical prowess but compensates with technique and good decision-making. 7 Riccardo Calafiori Hadn’t trained all week due to a hip problem but didn’t look sluggish. Provides Arsenal with fantastic energy all over the pitch. 8 MartĂn Zubimendi Controlled the game from the base of midfield with usual authority. Fortunately, his mistake in losing possession for the consolation strike didn’t affect the outcome. 7 Declan Rice Should have done better with early chance but can never fault his work rate. Tottenham could not handle his powerful runs from midfield. 8 Eberechi Eze It had to be him against the team he turned down in the summer. Produced a moment of magic to score a brilliant first before excellent finishes for his next two goals. 9 Bukayo Saka A few handbags with the defender in the first half before coming alive. Loved celebrating Eze’s hat-trick almost as much as the goal-getter did. 8 Mikel Merino Always a willing runner filling in up front and provided a moment of class with a exquisite pass for Trossard’s strike. 8 Leandro Trossard Expertly took his goal. Will be hard to displace him from the left wing once the rest of Arsenal’s forward players return. 8 Subs: Noni Madueke (for Trossard, 78) A positive return from knee injury 7; Ethan Nwaneri (for Merino, 86) n/a; Cristhian Mosquera (for Hincapie, 86) n/a; Myles Lewis-Skelly (for Calafiori, 90) n/s Spurs Squad Ratings Guglielmo Vicario Two good saves as he mastered the art of timewasting in the first half. No chance with any of the goals. 6 Kevin Danso Made a shaky start after being introduced to a back three. Expected that he was substituted at the break. 5 Cristian Romero Usually a reliable last line of defence but could not cope with Arsenal’s incessant pressure. Completed misery by receiving a booking that means he is now suspended. 5 Micky van de Ven The quick Dutchman came to his side’s rescue on more than one occasion. Yet he was powerless to stop Arsenal once they found their rhythm. 6 Djed Spence Far too slow to react to stop Trossard scoring and found himself under pressure. A difficult occasion for the English full-back. 5 Rodrigo Bentancur Spent most of the afternoon struggling to keep up. Could have done much more to stop Eze from dribbling through to score his opening goal. 4 JoĂŁo Palhinha Put himself about in midfield but was at fault of leaving an huge space for Eze to capitalise on twice. 5 Destiny Udogie Found it tough to contain Saka. To blame for Arsenal’s third goal and question marks remain about his defending. 5 Wilson Odobert Was difficult to work out what position he had been asked to fulfil. Couldn’t get any success out of Timber. 5 Richarlison Found it hard to make any influence in the first half. But his excellent lob at least gave Tottenham something to take pride in. 7 Mohammed Kudus Almost anonymous aside from a couple of promising early moments. Needs more support but spends too much time on the periphery. 5 Subs: Xavi Simons (for Danso, ht) Made a difference with willingness to drive forward with ball 6; Pape Sarr (for Odobert, 67) Added some energy 6; Randal Kolo Muani (for Bentancur, 67) Looked slow 5; Brennan Johnson (for Kudus, 78) The game was already over 6; Pedro Porro (for Spence, 78) Ended game arguing with the midfielder 6.
