đź”— Share this article Bentancur and Danso Have Derby Days to Forget Arsenal Player Ratings David Raya Hardly handled the ball as the Gunners controlled the game. Will be disappointed to have been surprised 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 bigger tests to come in the next few weeks without his usual defensive partner. 7 Piero HincapiĂ© Looked assured in filling in for Gabriel MagalhĂŁes. Lacks the his physical prowess but compensates with skill and good decision-making. 7 Riccardo Calafiori Hadn’t trained all week due to a hip problem but didn’t look off the pace. Provides Arsenal with excellent 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 the consolation strike didn’t affect the result. 7 Declan Rice Could have done better with early chance but can never question his effort. Tottenham could not cope with his powerful runs from deep. 8 Eberechi Eze It had to be him against the team he rejected in the summer. Produced a moment of magic to score a superb first before superb finishes for his next two goals. 9 Bukayo Saka A few exchanges with the defender in the first half before coming alive. Enjoyed celebrating Eze’s hat-trick 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 sublime pass for Trossard’s strike. 8 Leandro Trossard Skillfully took his goal. Will be hard to shift him from the left wing 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 Tottenham Player Performance Reviews Guglielmo Vicario Two good saves as he mastered the art of timewasting in the first half. Little opportunity with any of the Arsenal strikes. 6 Kevin Danso Made a nervous start after being introduced to a three-man defense. No surprise that he was replaced at half-time. 5 Cristian Romero Usually a dependable center-back but could not cope with 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 side’s rescue on several instances. Yet he was powerless to stop Arsenal once they found their rhythm. 6 Djed Spence Far too slow to respond to stop Trossard scoring and found himself pinned back. 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 running past to score his opening goal. 4 JoĂŁo Palhinha Put himself about in midfield but was guilty of leaving an huge space for Eze to exploit twice. 5 Destiny Udogie Found it difficult to contain 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 Timber. 5 Richarlison Found it hard to make any impact 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 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 over 6; Pedro Porro (for Spence, 78) Ended game arguing with the midfielder 6.
