🔗 Share this article Danso and Bentancur Endure Derby Days to Forget Gunners Squad Ratings David Raya Rarely saw the ball as Arsenal dominated the match. Will be frustrated to have been surprised by the Brazilian forward. 6 Jurriën 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 approach. There will be bigger tests to come in the next few weeks without his usual defensive partner. 7 Piero Hincapié Looked assured in filling in for the Brazilian defender. Doesn’t possess the his physical prowess but compensates with technique and good judgment. 7 Riccardo Calafiori Didn't practice all week due to a hip problem but didn’t look off the pace. Provides Arsenal with excellent energy all over the field. 8 MartÃn Zubimendi Controlled the game from the midfield anchor with typical 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 first opportunity but can never fault his effort. Tottenham could not cope with his powerful runs from midfield. 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 superb first before superb finishes for his second and third goals. 9 Bukayo Saka A few handbags with Udogie in the first half before springing to life. Enjoyed 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 exquisite pass for Trossard’s strike. 8 Leandro Trossard Expertly 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 Performance Reviews Guglielmo Vicario Two decent saves as he perfected the art of timewasting in the first half. No chance with any of the goals. 6 Kevin Danso Made a shaky start after being brought into 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. Completed misery by picking up a booking that means he is now suspended. 5 Micky van de Ven The speedy Dutchman came to his team's rescue on more than one occasion. Yet he was powerless to stop Arsenal once they hit their stride. 6 Djed Spence Far too slow 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 Eze from dribbling through to score his first. 4 João Palhinha Put himself about in midfield but was at fault of leaving an enormous space for Eze to exploit twice. 5 Destiny Udogie Found it tough to contain Saka. To blame for Arsenal’s third 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 the defender. 5 Richarlison Struggled 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 encouraging early touches. 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 over 6; Pedro Porro (for Spence, 78) Ended game arguing with Rice 6.
