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)
