The full-time whistle has blown between Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal in the Premier League, and the player ratings are in.
It ended up being a humiliating afternoon for Tottenham, who suffered a 4-1 loss to their bitter rivals.
Tottenham full-time player ratings vs Arsenal
Guglielmo Vicario – Having conceded twice in the first half, Tottenham wasted no time in allowing Arsenal to add a third, with Eberechi Eze slotting home less than thirty seconds after the restart. 5.
Djed Spence – Leandro Trossard kept Spence honest throughout the clash. Although the full-back managed to quieten him at times, the defining moment came when he allowed the Belgian to ghost in behind for Arsenal’s opener. 4.
Cristian Romero – A poor defensive display all round, and the Tottenham captain was powerless to prevent the collapse. Arsenal scored goals of all varieties, and the Argentine could only watch on. 3.
Kevin Danso – The centre-back earned a start as Thomas Frank opted for a back five. However, he was withdrawn at half-time after a dismal first-half showing from the entire Tottenham team. 4.5.
Micky Van de Ven – It could definitely have been a better performance from the Dutchman. His passing was often loose, though he did make several important recoveries and blocks. 4.
Destiny Udogie – The Italian played Trossard onside for Arsenal’s opener, the one major moment he got wrong. Aside from that, he stuck closely to Bukayo Saka and limited the winger’s influence. 5.
Rodrigo Bentancur – A poor display from the Uruguayan in both halves. Tottenham could not cope with Eze and Mikel Merino in midfield, and Bentancur offered little going forward. 4.
Joao Palhinha – The Portuguese midfielder was Tottenham’s best performer in the second half, showing fight, winning duels, and attempting to carry the ball forward. 7.
Mohammed Kudus – A north London derby debut to forget. Kudus spent much of the match chasing shadows as Spurs failed to produce anything in the final third. 4.
Richarlison – Grabbed what proved to be a consolation with a strike from the halfway line. It should have sparked a comeback, but instead Arsenal went on to make it 4–1. 6.
Wilson Odobert – The Frenchman had nothing to work with, as Tottenham once again failed to show any attacking thrust against a top Premier League side. 4.
Substitutes
Xavi Simons – Replaced Danso at half-time and slotted into the number ten role as Frank searched for a response. 5
Pape Sarr – The Senegal international came on for Bentancur but had little impact as Arsenal continued to dominate. 5
Randal Kolo Muani – The Frenchman received minutes from the bench, playing with protective gear to shield his jaw. 5
Pedro Porro – Replaced Spence on the right and was tasked with handling Noni Madueke late on. N/A
Brennan Johnson – The Wales international was Frank’s final row of the dice, but it was a little too late for Tottenham who were well beaten. N/A.
