How Arsenal and Tottenham players rated

Arsenal beat Tottenham 4-1 to move six points clear at the top of the Premier League.

How did the players perform?

David Raya: 5.5/10

A virtual spectator until Richarlison produced one of the goals of the season.

Jurrien Timber: 7.5

Shook off a midweek injury scare to add to his growing repertoire of excellent performances.

William Saliba: 7

Did not miss his central defensive partner Gabriel a jot. Cruised through the game.

Piero Hincapie: 7

Excellent on his first Premier League start. Will be key for Arsenal in injured Gabriel's absence.

Ricardo Calafiori: 7

Some doubt over his inclusion but manager Mikel Arteta will be happy his left-back was available.

Martin Zubimendi: 8

His reputation grows with every game. Knits it all together for Arsenal.

Declan Rice: 8

Built for occasions like these. Energy in abundance, with the temperament to boot.

Bukayo Saka: 7

The captain petrified Tottenham's left-hand side with his pace and power. A constant threat.

Eberechi Eze: 9.5

The stuff dreams are made of. A magical hat-trick in his first north London derby.

Mikel Merino: 7.5

Unlocked Tottenham with an excellent pass to set up Trossard's opener. Tireless work.

Leandro Trossard: 8

Continues to be Arsenal's Mr Reliable. Deserved his goal. Proving to be an important player for Arteta.

Noni Madueke (Trossard 78): 6

Ethan Nwaneri (Merino 88), Cristhian Mosquera (Hincapie 88), Myles Lewis-Skelly (Calafiori 90)

Guglielmo Vicario: 5.5

Questions over Eze's first goal but was left exposed by some awful defending.

Kevin Danso: 4.5

Took his place in a back three but was left bewildered by Arsenal's fluent attack. Subbed at half-time.

Cristian Romero: 6

Lives for nights like this, but 90 minutes to forget for the Tottenham captain.

Micky van de Ven: 5.5

Looked uncomfortable throughout. He was not the only Tottenham player to do so.

Djed Spence: 5.5

Off the pace at right wing-back. Had a good start to the season, but this was a day to forget.

Joao Palhinha: 6

Huffed and puffed in central midfield. Good tackle in the build-up to Richarlison's goal.

Rodrigo Bentacur: 5.5

Picked up an booking which meant he was walking a tightrope. Replaced after 66 minutes.

Destiny Udogie: 5.5

Good tussle with Saka but the Arsenal forward came out victorious. Industrious - no more - on the left flank.

Mohamed Kudus: 5

Tottenham pinned their attacking hopes on his pace and directness but he was largely ineffective.

Richarlison: 7

Produced a wonder goal to chip Raya from just inside Arsenal's half but did very little other than that.

Wilson Odobert: 5

Worked hard down the left but could not produce in attack or provide solidity in defence. Substituted.

Xavi Simons (Danso 46): 5

Pape Matar Sarr (Odobert 66): 5

Randal Kolo Muani (Bentancur 67): 5

Brennan Johnson (Kudus 78), Pedro Porro (Spence 78)
