đź”— Share this article Danso and Bentancur Experience Derby Humiliating Afternoons Gunners Squad Ratings David Raya Rarely saw the ball as Arsenal controlled the fixture. Is likely frustrated to have been caught off guard by the Brazilian forward. 6 JurriĂ«n Timber Seldom puts a foot wrong and was able to advance at will. Persistence paid off in his assist for Eze’s second goal. 8 William Saliba Seldom challenged by Spurs' defensive tactics. There will be tougher challenges to come in the next few weeks without his usual defensive partner. 7 Piero HincapiĂ© Looked assured in deputising for the Brazilian defender. Lacks the his physical prowess but compensates with skill and good judgment. 7 Riccardo Calafiori Didn't practice all week due to a hip issue but didn’t look off the pace. Provides Arsenal with excellent energy all over the pitch. 8 MartĂn Zubimendi Directed the game from the midfield anchor with usual authority. Luckily, his mistake in losing possession for the consolation strike didn’t affect the result. 7 Declan Rice Could have done better with early chance but can never fault his effort. Tottenham could not handle his powerful 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 brilliant first before superb finishes for his second and third 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 goal-getter did. 8 Mikel Merino Always a eager runner playing up front and provided a moment of quality with a exquisite 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 welcome 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 Performance Reviews Guglielmo Vicario Two good saves as he perfected the art of slowing play 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 cope with 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 found their rhythm. 6 Djed Spence Too sluggish to respond to stop the winger's goal and found himself under pressure. A difficult occasion for the England defender. 5 Rodrigo Bentancur Spent most of the afternoon chasing shadows. Could have done far better to stop the attacker from running past 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 handle Saka. To blame for Arsenal’s third and doubts remain about his defending. 5 Wilson Odobert Was hard to work out what role he had been asked to play. Couldn’t get any change out of the defender. 5 Richarlison Found it hard to make any influence in the first half. But his superb lob at least gave Tottenham something to cling on to. 7 Mohammed Kudus Almost anonymous aside from a couple of promising early moments. Needs more support but spends too much time on the fringes. 5 Subs: Xavi Simons (for Danso, ht) Made a difference 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 lost 6; Pedro Porro (for Spence, 78) Ended game arguing with the midfielder 6.
