"Mikel Arteta's side were too strong for timid Tottenham on Sunday as Leandro Trossard and Eze netted in the first half at the Emirates Stadium. Eze, who spurned Tottenham's advances to join Arsenal in the close season, struck again in the second half. Richarlison's incredible long-range goal reduced the deficit, but it was no consolation as Eze completed his superb treble to fire the Gunners six points clear at the top."
"It was only the fourth north London derby hat-trick after Ted Drake, Terry Dyson and Alan Sunderland, the latter being the most recent in 1978. Arsenal's 10-match winning streak was ended by Sunderland's late equaliser in a 2-2 draw before the international break. But Eze's best performance since his 60 million ($78m) move from Crystal Palace erased that bitter taste as Tottenham were put to the sword at the Emirates yet again."
Arsenal defeated Tottenham 4-1 in the north London derby with Eberechi Eze scoring a hat-trick and Leandro Trossard also on target. Richarlison replied for Tottenham with an extraordinary long-range strike, but Eze added a second-half goal to complete his treble. The hat-trick was only the fourth in derby history and followed Arsenal's earlier drop of points before the international break. Arsenal extended their unbeaten run in all competitions, moved six points clear at the top of the Premier League, and face crucial upcoming fixtures against Bayern Munich and Chelsea.
