đź”— Share this article Bentancur and Danso Have Derby Humiliating Afternoons Gunners Squad Performance Reviews David Raya Hardly handled the ball as Arsenal controlled the match. Is likely frustrated to have been surprised by Richarlison. 6 JurriĂ«n Timber Rarely ever puts a foot wrong and was able to advance at will. Determination paid off in his assist for Eze’s second goal. 8 William Saliba Seldom challenged by Tottenham’s defensive approach. There will be bigger tests to come in the next few weeks without his usual defensive partner. 7 Piero HincapiĂ© Looked assured in filling in for Gabriel MagalhĂŁes. Lacks the Brazilian’s physical prowess but makes up for it 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 MartĂn Zubimendi Controlled the game from the midfield anchor with usual authority. Luckily, his mistake in giving the ball away for the consolation strike 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 cope with his powerful runs from deep. 8 Eberechi Eze It had to be him against the club he rejected in the summer. Produced a moment of brilliance to score a brilliant first before excellent finishes for his second and third goals. 9 Bukayo Saka A few handbags with the defender in the first half before springing to life. Enjoyed celebrating Eze’s hat-trick 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 sublime 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 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 Ratings Guglielmo Vicario Two good saves as he mastered the art of slowing play in the first half. Little opportunity with any of the Arsenal strikes. 6 Kevin Danso Made a nervous 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. 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 team's rescue on several instances. Yet he was powerless to stop Arsenal once they found their rhythm. 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 chasing shadows. Could have done far better to stop Eze from dribbling through to score his opening goal. 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 tough to handle the winger. To blame 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 Found it hard to make any impact 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 service but spends too much time on the periphery. 5 Subs: Xavi Simons (for Danso, ht) Made a difference with willingness 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 the midfielder 6.
