đź”— Share this article Danso and Bentancur Have Derby Days to Forget Arsenal Player Performance Reviews David Raya Rarely saw the ball as the Gunners dominated the fixture. Will be disappointed to have been surprised by the Brazilian forward. 6 JurriĂ«n Timber Seldom puts a foot wrong and was able to advance at will. Determination paid off in his assist for Eberechi Eze's second goal. 8 William Saliba Rarely tested by Tottenham’s defensive tactics. There will be tougher challenges to come in the next few weeks without his usual defensive partner. 7 Piero HincapiĂ© Appeared confident in filling in for the Brazilian defender. Lacks the Brazilian’s physical prowess but compensates with skill 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 excellent energy all over the pitch. 8 MartĂn Zubimendi Controlled the game from the base of midfield with usual authority. Fortunately, his mistake in giving the ball away for the consolation strike didn’t affect the result. 7 Declan Rice Should have done better with early chance but can never fault his work rate. Tottenham could not cope with his marauding runs from midfield. 8 Eberechi Eze It had to be him against the club he turned down in the summer. Produced a moment of magic to score a superb first before superb finishes for his next two goals. 9 Bukayo Saka A few exchanges 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 sublime pass for the left winger's goal. 8 Leandro Trossard Skillfully took his goal. Will be hard to shift 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 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 Tottenham Player Ratings Guglielmo Vicario Two decent saves as he mastered the art of timewasting 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 reliable last line of defence but could not cope with Arsenal’s incessant 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 side’s rescue on several instances. Yet he was unable to stop Arsenal once they found their rhythm. 6 Djed Spence Far too slow to respond to stop Trossard scoring and found himself pinned back. 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 dribbling through to score his opening goal. 4 JoĂŁo Palhinha Put himself about in the center but was guilty of leaving an huge space for the playmaker to exploit twice. 5 Destiny Udogie Found it difficult to contain Saka. At fault for Arsenal’s third goal and doubts remain about his defensive abilities. 5 Wilson Odobert Was hard to work out what position he had been asked to play. Couldn’t get any change out of Timber. 5 Richarlison Found it hard to make any influence in the first half. But his superb 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 support but spends too much time on the periphery. 5 Subs: Xavi Simons (for Danso, ht) Made a impact with willingness to drive forward with ball 6; Pape Sarr (for Odobert, 67) Added some drive 6; Randal Kolo Muani (for Bentancur, 67) Looked off the pace 5; Brennan Johnson (for Kudus, 78) The game was already lost 6; Pedro Porro (for Spence, 78) Ended game exchanging words with Rice 6.
