🔗 Share this article Bentancur and Danso Have Derby Humiliating Afternoons Arsenal Player Ratings David Raya Barely touched the ball as the Gunners dominated the fixture. Is likely frustrated to have been caught off guard by the Brazilian forward. 6 Jurriën Timber Seldom puts a foot wrong and was able to push forward at will. Persistence paid off in his assist for 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 Hincapié Appeared confident in deputising for Gabriel Magalhães. Lacks the Brazilian’s physical prowess but compensates with skill 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 MartÃn Zubimendi Controlled the game from the midfield anchor with usual authority. Luckily, his mistake in losing possession for the consolation strike didn’t affect the outcome. 7 Declan Rice Could have done better with early chance but can never question his effort. Tottenham could not handle his powerful runs from deep. 8 Eberechi Eze It had to be him against the club he turned down in the summer. Delivered 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 the defender in the first half before springing to life. 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 Skillfully took his goal. Will be difficult 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 Performance Reviews Guglielmo Vicario Two good saves as he perfected the art of slowing play in the first half. No chance with any of the Arsenal strikes. 6 Kevin Danso Made a nervous start after being introduced to a back three. Expected that he was replaced at half-time. 5 Cristian Romero Usually a reliable last line of defence but could not cope with Arsenal’s constant pressure. Completed misery by receiving a booking that means he is now suspended. 5 Micky van de Ven The quick Dutchman came to his team's rescue on several instances. Yet he was unable to stop Arsenal once they found their rhythm. 6 Djed Spence Too sluggish to react 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 struggling to keep up. Could have done much more to stop the attacker from dribbling through to score his opening goal. 4 João 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 the winger. To blame for Arsenal’s third goal and question marks remain about his defending. 5 Wilson Odobert Was difficult to work out what role he had been asked to play. Couldn’t get any success 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 promising early touches. Needs more service but spends too much time on the fringes. 5 Subs: Xavi Simons (for Danso, ht) Made a difference with eagerness to advance 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 lost 6; Pedro Porro (for Spence, 78) Ended game exchanging words with Rice 6.
