đź”— Share this article Danso and Bentancur Have North London Derby Humiliating Afternoons Gunners Squad Performance Reviews David Raya Rarely saw the ball as Arsenal controlled the match. Is likely 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 assist for Eberechi Eze's second goal. 8 William Saliba Seldom challenged by Tottenham’s defensive tactics. There will be tougher challenges to come in the next few weeks without his regular defensive partner. 7 Piero HincapiĂ© Looked assured in deputising for the Brazilian defender. Lacks the his physical prowess but makes up for it with technique and good judgment. 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 field. 8 MartĂn Zubimendi Controlled the game from the midfield anchor with usual authority. Fortunately, his mistake in giving the ball away for the consolation strike didn’t affect the result. 7 Declan Rice Should have done better with early chance but can never question his effort. Tottenham could not handle his marauding runs from deep. 8 Eberechi Eze It had to be him against the club he turned down in the summer. Produced a moment of magic to score a brilliant first before superb finishes for his next two goals. 9 Bukayo Saka A few handbags with Udogie in the first half before springing to life. Loved celebrating Eze’s hat-trick almost as much as the scorer did. 8 Mikel Merino Always a willing runner playing up front and provided a moment of class with a exquisite 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 forward players 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 decent 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 nervous start after being introduced to a three-man defense. Expected that he was substituted at half-time. 5 Cristian Romero Usually a dependable center-back but could not cope with Arsenal’s incessant pressure. Added to his misery by receiving a booking that means he is now suspended. 5 Micky van de Ven The quick Dutchman came to his side’s rescue on more than one occasion. Yet he was powerless to stop Arsenal once they found their rhythm. 6 Djed Spence Too sluggish to respond to stop Trossard scoring and found himself pinned back. A testing occasion for the England defender. 5 Rodrigo Bentancur Spent most of the afternoon chasing shadows. Could have done much more to stop Eze from dribbling through to score his first. 4 JoĂŁo Palhinha Put himself about in midfield but was at fault of leaving an huge space for the playmaker to capitalise on twice. 5 Destiny Udogie Found it difficult to contain Saka. At fault for Arsenal’s third and doubts remain about his defensive abilities. 5 Wilson Odobert Was hard to work out what position he had been asked to fulfil. Couldn’t get any success out of Timber. 5 Richarlison Found it hard to make any influence in the first half. But his superb lob at least gave Tottenham something to cling on to. 7 Mohammed Kudus Virtually anonymous aside from a couple of encouraging early moments. Needs more service but spends too much time on the fringes. 5 Subs: Xavi Simons (for Danso, ht) Made a difference 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 the midfielder 6.
