đź”— Share this article Bentancur and Danso Endure Derby Forgettable Performances Arsenal Player Performance Reviews David Raya Rarely saw the ball as Arsenal commanded the match. Will be frustrated to have been surprised by Richarlison. 6 JurriĂ«n Timber Rarely ever puts a foot wrong and was able to advance at will. Determination paid off in his key pass for Eze’s second goal. 8 William Saliba Seldom challenged by Tottenham’s defensive approach. There will be tougher challenges to come in the next few weeks without his regular defensive partner. 7 Piero HincapiĂ© Looked assured in filling in for the Brazilian defender. Lacks the Brazilian’s physical prowess but compensates with technique 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 fantastic energy all over the pitch. 8 MartĂn Zubimendi Directed the game from the base of midfield with typical authority. Fortunately, his mistake in losing possession for Richarlison’s goal didn’t affect the result. 7 Declan Rice Could have done better with first opportunity but can never fault his work rate. Tottenham could not cope with his powerful runs from midfield. 8 Eberechi Eze It had to be him against the team he turned down in the summer. Delivered a moment of brilliance to score a brilliant first before superb finishes for his second and third 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 scorer did. 8 Mikel Merino Always a eager runner filling in up front and provided a moment of quality with a exquisite pass for the left winger's goal. 8 Leandro Trossard Expertly 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 positive 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 Ratings Guglielmo Vicario Two good saves as he perfected the art of slowing play in the first half. No chance with any of the goals. 6 Kevin Danso Made a shaky start after being introduced to a back three. Expected that he was replaced at half-time. 5 Cristian Romero Usually a dependable last line of defence but could not handle Arsenal’s incessant 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 powerless to stop Arsenal once they hit their stride. 6 Djed Spence Far too slow to respond to stop the winger's goal and found himself pinned back. A difficult 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 first. 4 JoĂŁo Palhinha Put himself about in midfield but was guilty of leaving an enormous space for Eze to capitalise on twice. 5 Destiny Udogie Found it difficult to contain the winger. To blame 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 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 take pride in. 7 Mohammed Kudus Virtually anonymous aside from a couple of promising early moments. Needs more service but spends too much time on the periphery. 5 Subs: Xavi Simons (for Danso, ht) Made a impact with willingness to drive forward 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 exchanging words with Rice 6.
