đź”— Share this article Danso and Bentancur Endure Derby Forgettable Performances Gunners Squad Performance Reviews David Raya Barely touched the ball as Arsenal controlled the match. Is likely frustrated 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. Persistence paid off in his assist for Eberechi Eze's second goal. 8 William Saliba Seldom challenged by Spurs' defensive tactics. 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 the Brazilian defender. Lacks the Brazilian’s physical prowess but compensates with technique and good decision-making. 7 Riccardo Calafiori Hadn’t trained all week due to a hip problem but didn’t look sluggish. Provides Arsenal with fantastic energy all over the pitch. 8 MartĂn Zubimendi Directed the game from the midfield anchor with usual authority. Fortunately, his mistake in losing possession for Richarlison’s goal didn’t affect the outcome. 7 Declan Rice Could have done better with early chance but can never fault his work rate. Tottenham could not handle his marauding runs from deep. 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 excellent finishes for his next two goals. 9 Bukayo Saka A few handbags with Udogie in the first half before coming alive. Loved celebrating the three goals almost as much as the scorer did. 8 Mikel Merino Always a eager runner filling in up front and provided a moment of quality with a sublime pass for Trossard’s strike. 8 Leandro Trossard Skillfully took his goal. Will be difficult to shift him from the left flank once the rest of Arsenal’s attacking options return. 8 Subs: Noni Madueke (for Trossard, 78) A positive return from injury layoff 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 timewasting in the first half. Little opportunity with any of the goals. 6 Kevin Danso Made a shaky start after being brought into a three-man defense. Expected that he was substituted at half-time. 5 Cristian Romero Usually a reliable last line of defence but could not cope with Arsenal’s incessant pressure. Added to his misery by picking up a booking that means he is now banned. 5 Micky van de Ven The speedy Dutchman came to his side’s rescue on more than one occasion. Yet he was unable to stop Arsenal once they hit their stride. 6 Djed Spence Too sluggish to respond to stop Trossard scoring and found himself pinned back. A testing occasion for the England defender. 5 Rodrigo Bentancur Spent most of the afternoon chasing shadows. Could have done much more to stop the attacker from running past to score his first. 4 JoĂŁo Palhinha Put himself about in the center but was guilty of leaving an enormous space for the playmaker 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 difficult to work out what position he had been asked to play. Couldn’t get any success out of the defender. 5 Richarlison Struggled to make any influence in the first half. But his excellent lob at least gave Tottenham something to cling on to. 7 Mohammed Kudus Virtually anonymous aside from a couple of encouraging 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 advance with ball 6; Pape Sarr (for Odobert, 67) Added some energy 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 exchanging words with the midfielder 6.
