Arsenal Beat Tottenham 4-1 with Eze Hat-Trick
Arsenal secured a commanding 4-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur in the North London derby on Sunday at the Emirates Stadium, with midfielder Eberechi Eze delivering a hat-trick that propelled the Premier League leaders six points clear at the top of the table.
The match began cautiously, but Arsenal broke the deadlock in the 36th minute when Leandro Trossard converted a precise pass from Mikel Merino, turning sharply to fire the ball past goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario after a deflection off Tottenham defender Kevin Danso. Eze added to the lead five minutes later, collecting a pass from Declan Rice, weaving through challenges, and drilling a low shot into the corner. Just 35 seconds into the second half, Eze struck again, latching onto Jurrien Timber's pass on the edge of the box and slotting it inside the far post. Tottenham responded in the 55th minute with Richarlison's stunning long-range lob from near the center circle that caught Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya off guard. Eze completed his treble in the 76th minute, curling a sharp finish from Trossard's square pass into the bottom corner, sealing the win despite a late save by Vicario on Eze's potential fourth goal.
