Eze Shines With Record Treble as Arsenal Thrash Tottenham
Arsenal delivered a statement performance in the North London derby on Sunday, sweeping aside Tottenham Hotspur 4–1 at the Emirates Stadium, with Eberechi Eze stealing the spotlight after scoring the first-ever Premier League hat-trick in the historic rivalry.
Leandro Trossard opened the scoring early on, setting the tone before Eze struck his first in the 41st minute. The Arsenal star returned from halftime in explosive fashion, scoring again just 38 seconds into the second half to extend the lead. He completed his treble in the 76th minute, cementing his name in derby history.
Tottenham briefly sparked hope when Richarlison produced a stunning 40-yard lob, but it wasn’t enough to derail Arsenal’s dominance.
The victory pushes the Gunners six points clear at the top of the Premier League table, with 29 points from 13 games. Eze signed for £60 million from Crystal Palace after Tottenham had shown interest said the moment felt “perfect” and described Arsenal fans as “family,” praising the atmosphere that fueled his career-defining performance.
