Arsenal delivered a commanding performance in the north London derby on Sunday, defeating Tottenham Hotspur 4–1 at the Emirates Stadium, with Eberechi Eze producing a sensational hat-trick to seal the win.
Leandro Trossard opened the scoring in the 35th minute after controlling a lofted pass and firing into the far corner. Five minutes later, Eze doubled Arsenal’s lead with a composed finish from the edge of the box, sending the home crowd into a frenzy.
Just seconds after the restart, Eze struck again—this time guiding a low effort into the bottom corner to extend Arsenal’s advantage and put Mikel Arteta’s side firmly in control. Tottenham managed to pull one back through Richarlison, who floated a long-range effort over David Raya in the 54th minute, but it was the visitors’ only notable moment in a difficult afternoon.
Eze completed his hat-trick in the 75th minute with another clinical strike, becoming the first player to score a treble in the fixture since 1978. The dominant win pushes Arsenal six points clear at the top of the Premier League after 12 games, maintaining their strong start to the season.
Arsenal now turn their attention to a Champions League matchup against Bayern Munich on Wednesday, before travelling to Chelsea next weekend for another major league test.
