Tottenham fell to a 4-1 defeat against Arsenal on Sunday.
Spurs welcomed Mikel Arteta’s side to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for the North London derby for Igor Tudor’s first game in charge in N17.
The Gunners dominated for the most part and made that count through Eberechi Eze before Randal Kolo Muani levelled the scores just seconds later in the first half.
Viktor Gyokeres made it 2-1 just minutes into the second 45, then Eze grabbed his second, and the Swede doubled his tally to seal the result in Igor Tudor’s first match in charge.
That was the killer blow for the Lilywhites as the away side saw the game out for a 3-1 defeat, and now, Tottenham News rates each player’s performance out of 10.

Archie Gray struggled vs Arsenal
You have to feel for Archie Gray because he’s been pushed from pillar to post and played in a whole host of different positions.
Today, he was forced out to right wing back, and it simply didn’t suit him, and he struggled to get a foothold on the game at any stage.
As showcased by Sofascore, the 19-year-old was limited throughout the clash, and that can’t be a surprise based on his position.
Gray completed just 21 passes and failed to complete a single dribble with a zero per cent success rate from the right flank.
That failure was mirrored in his crosses and long ball attempts, where he also failed to complete one in six total attempts.
It was an interesting experiment from Tudor to put him in at wing-back, but it simply didn’t work and wasn’t worth the risk in the end.
Yves Bissouma looked at his best for Tottenham
Yves Bissouma, at one point, looked to be done in North London after failing to play in the Premier League before AFCON kicked off.
The midfielder went to the tournament and has come back a different player, and showcased that against the Gunners.
He contributed to 17 defensive actions on the day, with four tackles and four clearances being the headline act of his showcase.
That was added to by six duel wins as he also was brought down for one foul, while avoiding committing a foul throughout the 90 minutes.
Bissouma was the best player on the park wearing white and can feel largely happy with his day’s work despite a frustrating defeat.
