đź”— Share this article Bentancur and Danso Endure North London Derby Humiliating Afternoons Arsenal Player Ratings David Raya Rarely saw the ball as Arsenal commanded the fixture. Is likely disappointed to have been caught napping by the Brazilian forward. 6 JurriĂ«n Timber Seldom puts a foot wrong and was able to attack at will. Determination paid off in his assist for Eberechi 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 regular defensive partner. 7 Piero HincapiĂ© Looked assured in filling in for Gabriel MagalhĂŁes. Doesn’t possess the Brazilian’s physical prowess but makes up for it with technique 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 fantastic energy all over the pitch. 8 MartĂn Zubimendi Controlled the game from the base of midfield with usual authority. Luckily, his mistake in losing possession 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 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 magic to score a brilliant 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 Eze’s hat-trick almost as much as the goal-getter did. 8 Mikel Merino Always a eager 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 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 Performance Reviews Guglielmo Vicario Two decent saves as he mastered the art of slowing play in the first half. Little opportunity with any of the goals. 6 Kevin Danso Made a nervous start after being brought into a three-man defense. No surprise that he was substituted at half-time. 5 Cristian Romero Usually a reliable last line of defence but could not handle Arsenal’s incessant pressure. Added to his misery by picking up a booking that means he is now suspended. 5 Micky van de Ven The quick Dutchman came to his side’s rescue on several instances. Yet he was powerless to stop Arsenal once they hit their stride. 6 Djed Spence Far too slow to react to stop the winger's goal and found himself pinned back. A testing occasion for the England defender. 5 Rodrigo Bentancur Spent most of the afternoon struggling to keep up. Could have done far better to stop Eze from running past to score his first. 4 JoĂŁo Palhinha Put himself about in midfield but was at fault of leaving an huge space for the playmaker to capitalise on twice. 5 Destiny Udogie Found it tough to handle Saka. At fault 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 change out of the defender. 5 Richarlison Struggled to make any impact in the first half. But his superb lob at least gave Tottenham something to cling on to. 7 Mohammed Kudus Virtually anonymous aside from a couple of encouraging early touches. Needs more support but spends too much time on the fringes. 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 drive 6; Randal Kolo Muani (for Bentancur, 67) Looked off the pace 5; Brennan Johnson (for Kudus, 78) The game was already lost 6; Pedro Porro (for Spence, 78) Ended game exchanging words with Rice 6.
