"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"
"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."
Arsenal defeated Tottenham 4-1 to move six points clear at the top of the Premier League. Eberechi Eze produced a sensational hat-trick to decide the north London derby. Arsenal's midfield, led by Martin Zubimendi and Declan Rice, controlled possession and tempo while linking effectively to the attack. Leandro Trossard and Bukayo Saka provided consistent threat and rewards in the final third. William Saliba, Jurrien Timber and Piero Hincapie delivered composed defending. David Raya had limited involvement. Tottenham's defence and goalkeeper were exposed by fluid Arsenal attacking play, leaving several Spurs players under pressure.
