đź”— Share this article Danso and Bentancur Experience Derby Humiliating Afternoons Arsenal Player Performance Reviews David Raya Hardly handled the ball as the Gunners commanded the fixture. Will be frustrated to have been caught napping by the Brazilian forward. 6 JurriĂ«n Timber Rarely ever puts a foot wrong and was able to push forward at will. Persistence paid off in his key pass for Eze’s second goal. 8 William Saliba Rarely tested by Spurs' defensive approach. There will be bigger tests 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 Didn't practice all week due to a hip problem but didn’t look off the pace. Provides Arsenal with fantastic energy all over the pitch. 8 MartĂn Zubimendi Directed the game from the midfield anchor with typical authority. Fortunately, his mistake in giving the ball away for the consolation strike didn’t affect the result. 7 Declan Rice Could have done better with first opportunity but can never fault his effort. Tottenham could not handle his marauding runs from midfield. 8 Eberechi Eze It had to be him against the club he rejected in the summer. Delivered a moment of brilliance to score a superb first before excellent finishes for his second and third goals. 9 Bukayo Saka A few handbags with the defender in the first half before coming alive. Loved celebrating the three goals almost as much as the scorer did. 8 Mikel Merino Always a willing runner filling in up front and provided a moment of class with a sublime pass for the left winger's goal. 8 Leandro Trossard Skillfully took his goal. Will be difficult to displace him from the left flank once the rest of Arsenal’s forward players return. 8 Subs: Noni Madueke (for Trossard, 78) A positive return from injury layoff 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 decent saves as he perfected the art of slowing play in the first half. Little opportunity with any of the Arsenal strikes. 6 Kevin Danso Made a shaky start after being brought into a back three. No surprise that he was substituted at half-time. 5 Cristian Romero Usually a dependable center-back but could not cope with Arsenal’s constant pressure. Added to his misery by picking up a booking that means he is now suspended. 5 Micky van de Ven The speedy Dutchman came to his team's rescue on several instances. Yet he was powerless to stop Arsenal once they hit their stride. 6 Djed Spence Far too slow to respond 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 chasing shadows. Could have done much more to stop the attacker from running past to score his opening goal. 4 JoĂŁo Palhinha Put himself about in the center but was at fault of leaving an huge space for Eze to capitalise on twice. 5 Destiny Udogie Found it difficult to handle Saka. At fault for Arsenal’s third and question marks remain about his defensive abilities. 5 Wilson Odobert Was hard to work out what role he had been asked to play. Couldn’t get any success out of the defender. 5 Richarlison Struggled to make any influence in the first half. But his excellent lob at least gave Tottenham something to cling on to. 7 Mohammed Kudus Almost anonymous aside from a couple of encouraging early moments. Needs more support but spends too much time on the fringes. 5 Subs: Xavi Simons (for Danso, ht) Made a difference with eagerness to drive forward with ball 6; Pape Sarr (for Odobert, 67) Added some drive 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 Rice 6.
