đź”— Share this article Danso and Bentancur Endure North London Derby Humiliating Afternoons Arsenal Player Performance Reviews David Raya Barely touched the ball as the Gunners dominated the match. Is likely disappointed to have been caught off guard by the Brazilian forward. 6 JurriĂ«n Timber Rarely ever puts a foot wrong and was able to advance at will. Persistence paid off in his assist for Eze’s second goal. 8 William Saliba Rarely tested by Tottenham’s defensive tactics. There will be bigger tests to come in the next few weeks without his usual defensive partner. 7 Piero HincapiĂ© Looked assured in deputising for Gabriel MagalhĂŁes. Lacks the Brazilian’s physical prowess but compensates with technique and good decision-making. 7 Riccardo Calafiori Didn't practice all week due to a hip issue but didn’t look sluggish. Provides Arsenal with excellent energy all over the field. 8 MartĂn Zubimendi Controlled the game from the midfield anchor with typical authority. Fortunately, 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 question his work rate. Tottenham could not handle his marauding runs from deep. 8 Eberechi Eze It had to be him against the team he turned down in the summer. Delivered a moment of brilliance to score a brilliant first before superb finishes for his next two goals. 9 Bukayo Saka A few handbags with the defender in the first half before springing to life. Loved celebrating the three goals almost as much as the goal-getter did. 8 Mikel Merino Always a willing runner playing up front and provided a moment of quality with a exquisite 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 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 Performance Reviews Guglielmo Vicario Two decent saves as he mastered the art of slowing play in the first half. No chance 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 replaced at half-time. 5 Cristian Romero Usually a reliable center-back but could not cope with Arsenal’s incessant pressure. Added to his misery by receiving 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 hit their stride. 6 Djed Spence Too sluggish 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 struggling to keep up. Could have done much more to stop Eze from dribbling through to score his first. 4 JoĂŁo Palhinha Put himself about in the center but was at fault of leaving an huge space for Eze to exploit twice. 5 Destiny Udogie Found it difficult to contain Saka. At fault for Arsenal’s third goal and doubts remain about his defending. 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 Virtually anonymous aside from a couple of promising early touches. Needs more service 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 over 6; Pedro Porro (for Spence, 78) Ended game exchanging words with Rice 6.
