đź”— Share this article Danso and Bentancur Endure Derby Humiliating Afternoons Gunners Squad Performance Reviews David Raya Hardly handled the ball as Arsenal commanded the match. Will be frustrated to have been caught off guard by Richarlison. 6 JurriĂ«n Timber Seldom puts a foot wrong and was able to advance at will. Determination 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© Appeared confident in filling in for the Brazilian defender. Lacks the his physical prowess but makes up for it 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 pitch. 8 MartĂn Zubimendi Controlled the game from the base of midfield with usual authority. Luckily, 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 effort. Tottenham could not cope with his powerful runs from deep. 8 Eberechi Eze It had to be him against the team he turned down in the summer. Produced a moment of brilliance to score a superb first before excellent finishes for his second and third goals. 9 Bukayo Saka A few handbags with the defender in the first half before springing to life. Enjoyed celebrating the three goals almost as much as the goal-getter did. 8 Mikel Merino Always a willing runner playing up front and provided a moment of class with a sublime pass for the left winger's goal. 8 Leandro Trossard Expertly 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 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 Spurs Squad Performance Reviews Guglielmo Vicario Two good saves as he perfected the art of timewasting in the first half. No chance with any of the Arsenal strikes. 6 Kevin Danso Made a nervous start after being brought into a back three. Expected that he was replaced at the break. 5 Cristian Romero Usually a reliable last line of defence but could not handle Arsenal’s incessant 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 more than one occasion. Yet he was unable to stop Arsenal once they found their rhythm. 6 Djed Spence Too sluggish 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 Eze from dribbling through to score his opening goal. 4 JoĂŁo Palhinha Put himself about in the center but was at fault of leaving an enormous space for Eze to capitalise on twice. 5 Destiny Udogie Found it difficult to contain Saka. At fault for Arsenal’s third goal and doubts remain about his defending. 5 Wilson Odobert Was difficult to work out what position he had been asked to fulfil. Couldn’t get any change out of Timber. 5 Richarlison Found it hard to make any influence in the first half. But his excellent lob at least gave Tottenham something to cling on to. 7 Mohammed Kudus Almost anonymous aside from a couple of encouraging early touches. Needs more service but spends too much time on the fringes. 5 Subs: Xavi Simons (for Danso, ht) Made a impact with eagerness 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 exchanging words with the midfielder 6.
