Arsenal secured a dominant 4-1 victory over rivals Tottenham Hotspur in the North London derby, with midfielder Eberechi Eze scoring a historic hat-trick. Eze is the first player to achieve a derby hat-trick since 1978.
The victory solidified Arsenal’s position atop the Premier League, placing them six points clear of their nearest challengers. Manager Mikel Arteta praised his team’s hunger and control throughout the match.
For Tottenham, the performance was described as “unforgivably toothless,” with the team mustering only three shots and a low xG total. Goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario lamented that the team “didn’t fight.” The comprehensive defeat has intensified the pressure on manager Thomas Frank. Both London clubs now turn their attention to mid-week Champions League fixtures, with Arsenal hosting Bayern Munich and Tottenham facing Paris Saint-Germain.
