🔗 Share this article Bentancur and Danso Have Derby Forgettable Performances Arsenal Player Ratings David Raya Barely touched the ball as Arsenal controlled the match. Will be disappointed to have been surprised by Richarlison. 6 Jurriën Timber Seldom puts a foot wrong and was able to push forward 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 bigger tests to come in the next few weeks without his usual defensive partner. 7 Piero Hincapié Appeared confident in deputising for the Brazilian defender. Doesn’t possess the his physical prowess but compensates with skill and good judgment. 7 Riccardo Calafiori Didn't practice all week due to a hip problem but didn’t look sluggish. Provides Arsenal with fantastic energy all over the pitch. 8 MartÃn Zubimendi Directed the game from the base of midfield with typical authority. Fortunately, his mistake in giving the ball away for the consolation strike didn’t affect the result. 7 Declan Rice Should have done better with first opportunity but can never fault his work rate. Tottenham could not cope with his marauding runs from midfield. 8 Eberechi Eze It had to be him against the team he rejected in the summer. Delivered a moment of brilliance to score a brilliant first before superb 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 goal-getter did. 8 Mikel Merino Always a eager runner playing up front and provided a moment of class with a exquisite pass for Trossard’s strike. 8 Leandro Trossard Skillfully took his goal. Will be hard to shift him from the left flank once the rest of Arsenal’s forward players 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 Tottenham Player Ratings Guglielmo Vicario Two decent saves as he mastered the art of timewasting in the first half. No chance with any of the goals. 6 Kevin Danso Made a shaky start after being introduced to a back three. Expected that he was substituted at the break. 5 Cristian Romero Usually a reliable center-back but could not cope with Arsenal’s incessant pressure. Added to his misery by receiving 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 unable to stop Arsenal once they hit their stride. 6 Djed Spence Far too slow to respond to stop the winger's goal and found himself under pressure. A difficult occasion for the English full-back. 5 Rodrigo Bentancur Spent most of the afternoon struggling to keep up. Could have done much more to stop the attacker from dribbling through to score his first. 4 João Palhinha Put himself about in midfield but was guilty of leaving an enormous space for Eze to capitalise on twice. 5 Destiny Udogie Found it tough to contain the winger. At fault for Arsenal’s third goal and doubts remain about his defending. 5 Wilson Odobert Was difficult to work out what role he had been asked to fulfil. Couldn’t get any success out of the defender. 5 Richarlison Found it hard to make any impact in the first half. But his superb lob at least gave Tottenham something to take pride in. 7 Mohammed Kudus Virtually anonymous aside from a couple of promising early moments. Needs more support 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 lost 6; Pedro Porro (for Spence, 78) Ended game exchanging words with Rice 6.
