Arsenal player ratings vs Tottenham as Saliba and Jesus impress but Jorginho poor replacing Rice
David Raya: We all knew how good Raya was with his feet. What he hadn't seen yet was his ability to make great saves though. A superb first half one from Johnson to compliment his impressive build up play. 7.
Ben White: Couldn't get forward to support Saka as much as he might have liked. Not great on Spurs' first goal either. Defended his side well in the second half though. 6.

Declan Rice: Looked to be nursing a calf injury after coming off at half time. Arsenal will hope that's not serious. He was decent in the first half with a few good interceptions before having to be taken off. 6.

Martin Odegaard: Led the Arsenal press as it was fruitful in the first half. Helped the Gunners maintain a decent tempo. Faded a little in the second half as Arsenal struggled to hold on to possession though. 7.
Bukayo Saka: Showed his
