đź”— Share this article Bentancur and Danso Endure Derby Forgettable Performances Gunners Squad Ratings David Raya Rarely saw the ball as Arsenal commanded the match. Is likely frustrated to have been surprised by Richarlison. 6 JurriĂ«n Timber Rarely ever puts a foot wrong and was able to push forward at will. Determination paid off in his assist for Eberechi Eze's second goal. 8 William Saliba Rarely tested by Spurs' defensive tactics. There will be bigger tests to come in the next few weeks without his usual defensive partner. 7 Piero HincapiĂ© Appeared confident in deputising for Gabriel MagalhĂŁes. Doesn’t possess the Brazilian’s physical prowess but makes up for it with technique and good judgment. 7 Riccardo Calafiori Didn't practice all week due to a hip issue but didn’t look off the pace. Provides Arsenal with excellent energy all over the pitch. 8 MartĂn Zubimendi Directed the game from the midfield anchor with usual authority. Luckily, his mistake in giving the ball away for Richarlison’s goal 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 cope with his powerful runs from deep. 8 Eberechi Eze It had to be him against the club he turned down in the summer. Produced a moment of brilliance to score a brilliant first before superb finishes for his second and third goals. 9 Bukayo Saka A few handbags with Udogie in the first half before coming alive. Loved celebrating the three goals almost as much as the goal-getter did. 8 Mikel Merino Always a willing runner filling in up front and provided a moment of quality with a sublime pass for Trossard’s strike. 8 Leandro Trossard Skillfully took his goal. Will be difficult to shift him from the left flank once the rest of Arsenal’s attacking options return. 8 Subs: Noni Madueke (for Trossard, 78) A welcome 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 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 introduced to a three-man defense. No surprise that he was replaced at half-time. 5 Cristian Romero Usually a dependable center-back but could not cope with Arsenal’s constant pressure. Completed misery by receiving a booking that means he is now banned. 5 Micky van de Ven The speedy Dutchman came to his team's rescue on several instances. Yet he was unable to stop Arsenal once they hit their stride. 6 Djed Spence Far too slow to respond to stop the winger's goal and found himself pinned back. A testing 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 first. 4 JoĂŁo Palhinha Put himself about in the center but was at fault of leaving an enormous space for Eze to capitalise on twice. 5 Destiny Udogie Found it difficult to handle Saka. To blame for Arsenal’s third goal and doubts remain about his defending. 5 Wilson Odobert Was hard to work out what role he had been asked to play. Couldn’t get any change out of Timber. 5 Richarlison Struggled to make any impact 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 encouraging early moments. Needs more service but spends too much time on the fringes. 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 lost 6; Pedro Porro (for Spence, 78) Ended game exchanging words with Rice 6.
