đź”— Share this article Bentancur and Danso Experience North London Derby Days to Forget Arsenal Player Performance Reviews David Raya Hardly handled the ball as Arsenal dominated the fixture. Is likely disappointed to have been caught off guard by Richarlison. 6 JurriĂ«n Timber Rarely ever puts a foot wrong and was able to advance at will. Persistence paid off in his key pass for Eze’s second goal. 8 William Saliba Rarely tested by Tottenham’s defensive approach. There will be tougher challenges to come in the next few weeks without his usual defensive partner. 7 Piero HincapiĂ© Appeared confident in deputising for the Brazilian defender. Lacks the his physical prowess but compensates with technique and good judgment. 7 Riccardo Calafiori Didn't practice all week due to a hip problem but didn’t look off the pace. Provides Arsenal with excellent energy all over the field. 8 MartĂn Zubimendi Controlled the game from the base of midfield with typical authority. Luckily, his mistake in losing possession for Richarlison’s goal didn’t affect the outcome. 7 Declan Rice Should have done better with early chance but can never question his work rate. Tottenham could not cope with his marauding runs from deep. 8 Eberechi Eze It had to be him against the club he turned down in the summer. Delivered 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 Udogie in the first half before springing to life. Enjoyed celebrating the three goals almost as much as the scorer did. 8 Mikel Merino Always a eager runner playing up front and provided a moment of class with a sublime 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 attacking options return. 8 Subs: Noni Madueke (for Trossard, 78) A welcome return from knee injury 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 decent saves as he perfected the art of slowing play in the first half. Little opportunity with any of the goals. 6 Kevin Danso Made a shaky start after being introduced to a three-man defense. Expected that he was replaced 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 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 hit their stride. 6 Djed Spence Too sluggish to respond to stop Trossard scoring and found himself under pressure. A difficult occasion for the English full-back. 5 Rodrigo Bentancur Spent most of the afternoon chasing shadows. Could have done far better to stop the attacker from dribbling through to score his opening goal. 4 JoĂŁo Palhinha Put himself about in the center but was guilty of leaving an enormous space for the playmaker to capitalise on twice. 5 Destiny Udogie Found it difficult to contain Saka. To blame for Arsenal’s third and question marks remain about his defensive abilities. 5 Wilson Odobert Was hard to work out what role he had been asked to play. 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 cling on to. 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 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 the midfielder 6.
