🔗 Share this article Bentancur and Danso Endure Derby Forgettable Performances Arsenal Player Ratings David Raya Rarely saw the ball as Arsenal controlled the match. Will be 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 key pass 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 usual defensive partner. 7 Piero Hincapié Looked assured in filling in 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 pitch. 8 MartÃn Zubimendi Directed the game from the base of midfield with usual authority. Fortunately, 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 question his work rate. Tottenham could not handle his powerful runs from midfield. 8 Eberechi Eze It had to be him against the club he rejected in the summer. Delivered 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 the defender in the first half before springing to life. Loved celebrating the three goals almost as much as the scorer did. 8 Mikel Merino Always a willing runner filling in up front and provided a moment of quality with a sublime pass for the left winger's goal. 8 Leandro Trossard Expertly took his goal. Will be hard to displace 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 Tottenham Player 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. No surprise that he was substituted at the break. 5 Cristian Romero Usually a reliable center-back but could not cope with Arsenal’s constant pressure. Added to his 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 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 under pressure. 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 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 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 difference with willingness to advance 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 arguing with the midfielder 6.
