🔗 Share this article Danso and Bentancur Have Derby Forgettable Performances Arsenal Player Ratings David Raya Hardly handled the ball as Arsenal commanded the game. Is likely frustrated to have been surprised by Richarlison. 6 Jurriën Timber Rarely ever puts a foot wrong and was able to push forward at will. Persistence paid off in his key pass for Eberechi Eze's second goal. 8 William Saliba Seldom challenged by Spurs' defensive tactics. There will be tougher challenges to come in the next few weeks without his regular defensive partner. 7 Piero Hincapié Appeared confident in filling in for Gabriel Magalhães. Lacks the his 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 off the pace. Provides Arsenal with excellent energy all over the field. 8 MartÃn Zubimendi Directed the game from the base of midfield with typical authority. Fortunately, his mistake in giving the ball away for Richarlison’s goal didn’t affect the outcome. 7 Declan Rice Could have done better with early chance but can never question his effort. Tottenham could not cope with his powerful runs from midfield. 8 Eberechi Eze It had to be him against the club he rejected in the summer. Produced a moment of magic to score a superb first before excellent finishes for his next two goals. 9 Bukayo Saka A few exchanges with the defender in the first half before coming alive. Enjoyed celebrating the three goals almost as much as the goal-getter did. 8 Mikel Merino Always a eager runner filling in up front and provided a moment of quality with a exquisite pass for the left winger's goal. 8 Leandro Trossard Skillfully took his goal. Will be hard to shift him from the left wing 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 Performance Reviews Guglielmo Vicario Two decent saves as he perfected the art of timewasting in the first half. Little opportunity with any of the goals. 6 Kevin Danso Made a shaky start after being brought into a back three. Expected that he was replaced at half-time. 5 Cristian Romero Usually a dependable center-back but could not handle Arsenal’s constant pressure. Completed misery by receiving a booking that means he is now banned. 5 Micky van de Ven The quick Dutchman came to his team's rescue on more than one occasion. Yet he was unable to stop Arsenal once they hit their stride. 6 Djed Spence Too sluggish to react to stop Trossard scoring and found himself under pressure. 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 dribbling through to score his opening goal. 4 João Palhinha Put himself about in the center but was at fault of leaving an enormous space for the playmaker to exploit twice. 5 Destiny Udogie Found it difficult to handle Saka. At fault for Arsenal’s third goal and question marks remain about his defensive abilities. 5 Wilson Odobert Was hard to work out what position he had been asked to fulfil. Couldn’t get any success out of Timber. 5 Richarlison Struggled to make any influence 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 support but spends too much time on the periphery. 5 Subs: Xavi Simons (for Danso, ht) Made a impact with eagerness 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 arguing with the midfielder 6.
