Player ratings: Arsenal 4-1 Tottenham

Arsenal put on a display for the ages with a thumping 4-1 win over North London rivals Tottenham on Sunday, to move 6 clear at the top of the table.

After Liverpool and Manchester City lost on Saturday, the weight of this fixture felt even bigger, and the Arsenal players did not disappoint.

Despite key players like Gabriel, Martin Odegaard, Kai Havertz and Viktor Gyokeres being unavailable, Arsenal’s squad depth bore fruit again with Ebere Eze netting a stunning hat-trick, and Mikel Merino and Leandro Trossard combining excellently to score the other.
