Bukayo Saka (RW) – 8/10 – Arsenal tried to isolate Saka against Ivan Perisic as much as possible and the ploy paid dividends at the start of the second half. His threat was ominous throughout.

Gabriel Jesus (ST) – 8/10 – Jesus thoroughly enjoyed his maiden North London derby, and he was handed his goal on a plate by Lloris. The Brazilian dazzled at times and should’ve bagged a second before Spurs went down to ten.

Gabriel Martinelli (LW) – 8/10 – It was Martinelli who changed the game by not doing very much. He was on the end of Emerson’s clumsy challenge that saw the Tottenham defender dismissed. He burst into life in the second half and was the driving force in Arsenal’s derby day victory.
