đź”— Share this article Bentancur and Danso Endure Derby Days to Forget Gunners Squad Performance Reviews David Raya Barely touched the ball as the Gunners controlled the game. Will be frustrated to have been caught napping by Richarlison. 6 JurriĂ«n Timber Rarely ever puts a foot wrong and was able to attack at will. Determination paid off in his assist for Eberechi Eze's second goal. 8 William Saliba Rarely tested by Spurs' defensive approach. 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 Gabriel MagalhĂŁes. Lacks the Brazilian’s physical prowess but compensates with technique and good decision-making. 7 Riccardo Calafiori Didn't practice all week due to a hip issue but didn’t look sluggish. Provides Arsenal with fantastic energy all over the field. 8 MartĂn Zubimendi Directed the game from the midfield anchor with usual authority. Luckily, his mistake in giving the ball away for Richarlison’s goal didn’t affect the result. 7 Declan Rice Should have done better with early chance 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. Produced a moment of magic to score a brilliant 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 Eze’s hat-trick almost as much as the goal-getter did. 8 Mikel Merino Always a willing runner playing up front and provided a moment of quality with a sublime pass for Trossard’s strike. 8 Leandro Trossard Skillfully took his goal. Will be hard 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 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 mastered the art of timewasting in the first half. Little opportunity with any of the goals. 6 Kevin Danso Made a shaky start after being introduced to a back three. No surprise that he was substituted at the break. 5 Cristian Romero Usually a reliable last line of defence but could not handle Arsenal’s constant pressure. Completed misery by receiving a booking that means he is now banned. 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 found their rhythm. 6 Djed Spence Far too slow to react to stop the winger's goal and found himself under pressure. A testing 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 running past to score his first. 4 JoĂŁo Palhinha Put himself about in the center but was guilty of leaving an enormous space for Eze to exploit twice. 5 Destiny Udogie Found it difficult to handle the winger. At fault 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 fulfil. 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 touches. Needs more support but spends too much time on the periphery. 5 Subs: Xavi Simons (for Danso, ht) Made a difference with eagerness to drive forward with ball 6; Pape Sarr (for Odobert, 67) Added some energy 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 exchanging words with Rice 6.
