đź”— Share this article Danso and Bentancur Experience Derby Forgettable Performances Arsenal Player Performance Reviews David Raya Hardly handled the ball as the Gunners controlled the fixture. Will be frustrated to have been caught napping by Richarlison. 6 JurriĂ«n Timber Seldom puts a foot wrong and was able to advance at will. Determination paid off in his key pass for Eberechi Eze's second goal. 8 William Saliba Rarely tested by Spurs' defensive approach. There will be tougher challenges to come in the next few weeks without his regular defensive partner. 7 Piero HincapiĂ© Appeared confident in deputising for the Brazilian defender. Doesn’t possess the his physical prowess but compensates with skill and good decision-making. 7 Riccardo Calafiori Hadn’t trained all week due to a hip issue but didn’t look sluggish. Provides Arsenal with excellent energy all over the pitch. 8 MartĂn Zubimendi Directed the game from the base of midfield with usual authority. Luckily, his mistake in giving the ball away for Richarlison’s goal didn’t affect the outcome. 7 Declan Rice Should have done better with early chance but can never question his effort. Tottenham could not handle 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 magic to score a superb first before excellent finishes for his second and third goals. 9 Bukayo Saka A few handbags 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 class with a sublime pass for the left winger's goal. 8 Leandro Trossard Expertly took his goal. Will be difficult to displace him from the left flank once the rest of Arsenal’s forward players 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 decent saves as he mastered the art of slowing play in the first half. No chance with any of the Arsenal strikes. 6 Kevin Danso Made a nervous start after being brought into a three-man defense. No surprise that he was replaced at half-time. 5 Cristian Romero Usually a dependable 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 banned. 5 Micky van de Ven The quick 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 react to stop the winger's goal and found himself under pressure. 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 the attacker from running past to score his opening goal. 4 JoĂŁo Palhinha Put himself about in the center 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 defensive abilities. 5 Wilson Odobert Was hard to work out what position he had been asked to play. Couldn’t get any change 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 cling on to. 7 Mohammed Kudus Virtually anonymous aside from a couple of promising early moments. Needs more service but spends too much time on the periphery. 5 Subs: Xavi Simons (for Danso, ht) Made a difference 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 lost 6; Pedro Porro (for Spence, 78) Ended game arguing with the midfielder 6.
