🔗 Share this article Danso and Bentancur Have North London 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 Richarlison. 6 Jurriën Timber Rarely ever puts a foot wrong and was able to advance at will. Persistence paid off in his key pass for Eberechi 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 regular defensive partner. 7 Piero Hincapié Appeared confident in deputising for Gabriel Magalhães. Lacks the Brazilian’s physical prowess but compensates with technique and good judgment. 7 Riccardo Calafiori Didn't practice all week due to a hip problem but didn’t look off the pace. Provides Arsenal with excellent energy all over the field. 8 MartÃn Zubimendi Controlled the game from the midfield anchor with typical authority. Fortunately, his mistake in losing possession for the consolation strike didn’t affect the result. 7 Declan Rice Should have done better with early chance but can never fault his effort. Tottenham could not cope with 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 magic to score a superb first before excellent finishes for his second and third goals. 9 Bukayo Saka A few exchanges with Udogie 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 playing 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 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 positive 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 mastered the art of timewasting in the first half. Little opportunity with any of the Arsenal strikes. 6 Kevin Danso Made a nervous start after being introduced to a three-man defense. No surprise that he was substituted at half-time. 5 Cristian Romero Usually a reliable center-back but could not handle Arsenal’s constant 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 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 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 dribbling through to score his opening goal. 4 João Palhinha Put himself about in the center but was guilty of leaving an huge space for the playmaker to exploit twice. 5 Destiny Udogie Found it difficult to handle the winger. At fault for Arsenal’s third and question marks remain about his defending. 5 Wilson Odobert Was hard to work out what role he had been asked to play. Couldn’t get any success out of the defender. 5 Richarlison Found it hard 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 impact with willingness to drive forward with ball 6; Pape Sarr (for Odobert, 67) Added some drive 6; Randal Kolo Muani (for Bentancur, 67) Looked slow 5; Brennan Johnson (for Kudus, 78) The game was already over 6; Pedro Porro (for Spence, 78) Ended game arguing with Rice 6.
