đź”— Share this article Danso and Bentancur Experience North London Derby Humiliating Afternoons Gunners Squad Performance Reviews David Raya Barely touched the ball as Arsenal commanded the fixture. Will be frustrated to have been surprised by the Brazilian forward. 6 JurriĂ«n Timber Rarely ever puts a foot wrong and was able to advance at will. Determination paid off in his key pass for Eze’s second goal. 8 William Saliba Rarely tested by Tottenham’s defensive tactics. 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. Doesn’t possess the Brazilian’s physical prowess but makes up for it with skill and good decision-making. 7 Riccardo Calafiori Hadn’t trained 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 Directed the game from the midfield anchor with typical authority. Luckily, his mistake in giving the ball away for the consolation strike didn’t affect the result. 7 Declan Rice Should have done better with early chance but can never question 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. Produced a moment of brilliance to score a superb first before superb finishes for his next two goals. 9 Bukayo Saka A few handbags with the defender in the first half before coming alive. 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 class with a sublime pass for Trossard’s strike. 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 Tottenham Player Ratings Guglielmo Vicario Two good saves as he perfected the art of timewasting in the first half. No chance with any of the Arsenal strikes. 6 Kevin Danso Made a shaky start after being introduced to 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 handle Arsenal’s constant pressure. Completed 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 more than one occasion. Yet he was powerless to stop Arsenal once they found their rhythm. 6 Djed Spence Too sluggish to react to stop Trossard scoring and found himself pinned back. A testing occasion for the English full-back. 5 Rodrigo Bentancur Spent most of the afternoon struggling to keep up. Could have done far better to stop the attacker from dribbling through to score his first. 4 JoĂŁo Palhinha Put himself about in midfield but was at fault of leaving an enormous space for the playmaker to capitalise on twice. 5 Destiny Udogie Found it difficult to contain Saka. To blame for Arsenal’s third goal and question marks remain about his defensive abilities. 5 Wilson Odobert Was difficult to work out what role he had been asked to play. 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 service but spends too much time on the fringes. 5 Subs: Xavi Simons (for Danso, ht) Made a difference with eagerness 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 over 6; Pedro Porro (for Spence, 78) Ended game arguing with Rice 6.
