Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 Arsenal: Arsenal's player ratings

Defenders

Right-Back (Hector Bellerin): 7.5

Hector Bellerin kept Son Heung-min quiet

Against the South Korean striker, Hector Bellerin did a brilliant job in denying Son Heung-min from creating much. Bellerin had been on the winning end of the battle between the duo and it resulted in Tottenham's striker facing many difficulties throughout the game.

Centre-back (Laurent Koscielny): 7

Koscielny marking Dele Alli

The French defender partnered well with his centre-back in the first half. in general, the team defended decently well in the first half, giving Tottenham little chances to invent something, however, Koscielny went down too easily as Harry Kane nudged him in the back while scoring his header. That winning goal from Harry Kane was the deciding factor of the match.

Centre-back (Shkodran Mustafi): 7

Mustafi had been the star defender for the team

This was one of Mustafi's best performance in an Arsenal shirt. He made crucial interceptions in preventing Tottenham from scoring. Each time Tottenham was close to scoring, Mustafi arrived at the right place at the right time to deny them.

Late in the second-half, he was shown a yellow for a rash challenge. He did his job and played his role throughout the game. Whenever he had the ball, he was always trying to move the ball forward, but everything came to nought.

Left-back (Nacho Monreal): 7

Monreal marking Harry Kane

Monreal played his full match after recovering from an injury. He was too naive by thinking that Harry Kane's nudge on his captain will be a foul. Monreal did well defensively but offered very little in attack. He sat deep in the first half and barely had any chances to move forward.
