đź”— Share this article Bentancur and Danso Endure North London Derby Forgettable Performances Gunners Squad Performance Reviews David Raya Barely touched the ball as Arsenal dominated the game. Will be disappointed 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 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© Appeared confident in filling in for the Brazilian defender. Doesn’t possess the his physical prowess but makes up for it with technique 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 base of midfield with typical authority. Luckily, his mistake in losing possession for Richarlison’s goal didn’t affect the outcome. 7 Declan Rice Could have done better with first opportunity but can never fault his work rate. Tottenham could not handle his marauding runs from midfield. 8 Eberechi Eze It had to be him against the club he turned down in the summer. Delivered a moment of magic to score a superb first before excellent finishes for his next two goals. 9 Bukayo Saka A few exchanges with Udogie in the first half before springing to life. Enjoyed celebrating Eze’s hat-trick 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 exquisite pass for the left winger's goal. 8 Leandro Trossard Skillfully took his goal. Will be difficult to displace him from the left flank 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 Ratings Guglielmo Vicario Two good saves as he mastered 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 brought into a three-man defense. Expected that he was replaced at the break. 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 hit their stride. 6 Djed Spence Too sluggish to respond to stop Trossard scoring and found himself under pressure. A difficult occasion for the England defender. 5 Rodrigo Bentancur Spent most of the afternoon struggling to keep up. 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 huge space for Eze to exploit twice. 5 Destiny Udogie Found it tough to handle the winger. To blame for Arsenal’s third and doubts remain about his defending. 5 Wilson Odobert Was hard to work out what position 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 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 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 the midfielder 6.
