Overview
- Eberechi Eze and Viktor Gyökeres each scored twice as Arsenal controlled the derby after the break for their second 4-1 win over Tottenham this season.
- Arsenal move five points clear at the top with 10 matches left, though Manchester City have a game in hand, and this was their first league victory in three.
- Tottenham’s first match under interim coach Igor Tudor ended in a heavy defeat, leaving them 16th and four points above the relegation zone with a severely depleted squad.
- Randal Kolo Muani quickly cancelled out Eze’s opener after a Declan Rice error, but a later Muani strike was ruled out for a push on Gabriel before Arsenal pulled away.
- Eze has scored five league goals against Spurs this season after nearly joining them last summer, and the second half included a brief technology/VAR-related delay before play resumed.
