"Eberechi Eze produced a timely brace to haunt Tottenham again and restore Arsenal's five-point lead at the Premier League summit with a 4-1 north London derby win. The title credentials of Mikel Arteta's team had been questioned after they dropped points in consecutive matches at Brentford and Wolves but they responded with aplomb at the home of their fierce rivals."
"Eze broke the deadlock in a white-hot atmosphere in the 32nd minute and while Randal Kolo Muani replied 123 seconds later for the first goal of Igor Tudor's spell as interim Spurs head coach, Arsenal exerted their dominance after the break. Viktor Gyökeres produced a wonderful curled strike after 47 minutes before Eze punished more slack home defending to grab his fifth goal of the campaign against a club that were at one stage favourites to sign the ex- Crystal Palace playmaker last summer."
Arsenal reclaimed a five-point lead at the top of the Premier League with a 4-1 win over north London rivals Tottenham. Eberechi Eze opened the scoring in the 32nd minute and added a second after the break. Randal Kolo Muani briefly equalised 123 seconds after Eze's opener, marking the first goal under interim Spurs head coach Igor Tudor. Viktor Gyokeres scored a curled effort shortly after halftime and added a stoppage-time goal to seal the victory. Tottenham sit 16th and remain just four points above the relegation zone after a difficult start under Tudor.
