Arsenal 2-1 Tottenham: These 3 players were key to North London Derby win

2. Emile Smith-Rowe

Although he didn’t get a goal or provide an assist, Emile Smith Rowe’s performance was that good that he warrants second place in this list. The youngster was exceptional throughout the 77 minutes he played, and he even came close to scoring a long-range shot which hit the crossbar. The miss came from nothing but won’t go down as a blunder since Arsenal got the result.

Since I’m mentioning Smith Rowe, I must give an honourable mention to his creative partner Martin Odegaard who also put in an excellent display, of course, getting on the scoresheet. In these two, the Gunners have two like-for-like options.
