Arsenal's Eze Bags Hat-Trick in Thrilling North London Derby Win Over Tottenham
In a resounding display of attacking prowess, Arsenal midfielder Eberechi Eze scored a hat-trick to lead his side to a convincing 4-1 victory over Tottenham at the Emirates Stadium. The English star's incredible performance catapulted Arsenal six points clear at the top of the Premier League table, bolstering their title ambitions.
The Gunners' dominance was evident from the start as Leandro Trossard netted the opening goal in the 36th minute after a sublime pass from Mikel Merino. Eze then capitalized on Tottenham's timidity by scoring his first goal just four minutes later with a fine low finish past Guglielmo Vicario.
Tottenham's dismal performance was exacerbated by the absence of injured centre-back Gabriel Magalhaes, which allowed Arsenal to control the game. However, Richarlison's incredible 35-yard lob in the second half briefly gave Tottenham hope, only for Eze to seal his hat-trick with a blistering strike from 12 yards just 11 minutes later.
The victory marked only the fourth north London derby hat-trick after Ted Drake, Terry Dyson, and Alan Sunderland, making it one of the most memorable encounters in recent history. Arsenal's 10-match winning streak was snapped by this loss to Tottenham, but the Gunners' unbeaten run in all competitions now stands at 15 games.
The win also came with a significant psychological boost for Arsenal ahead of their upcoming Champions League match against Bayern Munich and a visit to second-placed Chelsea next weekend. With Manchester City struggling and Liverpool in turmoil, the Premier League leaders have seized an opportunity to capitalize on their rivals' misfortunes.
Thomas Frank's Tottenham side was criticized for their lack of fight and creativity, with Guglielmo Vicario admitting that his team failed to show enough spirit. The defeat marked a worrying sign for Frank's tenure, as his side's best away record was brought to an end in the fifth game of their unbeaten run.
Eze's incredible hat-trick performance will be remembered for years to come, and it's clear that he is now a key player for Arsenal. His prayers were answered on Sunday, and he'll likely remember this day as one of the most special of his life, with his family in attendance at Emirates Stadium.

and that tottenham's got no chance...i mean, gabriel magalhaes injured? what a coincidence...and richarlison's goal was like, totally unrealistic...like he pulled it out of thin air 
i'm not buying it...also, eberechi eze's hat-trick seems way too easy...either someone helped him or the ref was blind 
arsenal's eze is just insane! that lad has got some serious skills 
i mean who else can score a hat-trick against spurs and still look like they're having fun on the pitch lol? 
️ and now arsene Wenger's ghost must be smiling in heaven, seeing his old team back on top 
tottenham just got absolutely thrashed, gotta feel for them 
but hey, at least eze got to celebrate with his fam 
I'm loving Eze's form right now! He's like a clinical finisher on the pitch and his hat-trick is just another testament to that 
. The way Arsenal controlled the game was impressive, especially without Magalhaes. Richarlison's 35-yard lob was an incredible strike, though 
. But for Eze, it was all about the finishing and I think this win will give him a massive confidence boost going forward 
. He's now officially cemented himself as a key player for Arsenal and I'm excited to see how he'll continue to contribute to their title bid 
.
what a game!!! Eze is literally a genius on the pitch! 3 goals in one match? 
I'm so hyped for Arsenal right now 
and then Eze just took it to another level 
they just got thrashed 4-1 at home... I'm starting to think this is the start of a massive slump for them 
Thomas Frank needs to get his squad together ASAP! 
and now Arsenal gets a major psychological boost before their Champions League match against Bayern Munich 
! But seriously, this win is gonna give Arsenal a huge boost going into their next matches. They're in top form right now! 
they played so well against spurs and eze was straight fire 
it's clear that arsenal are now the team to beat in the prem with 6 points clear at the top 
arsenal needs to step up their defense if they wanna keep this title push 
. and i gotta say, it was pretty sad for tottenham tho 
. Arsenal's on fire rn and it's hard not 2 think they're gonna take that champs league title 
they really showed off their skills and dominated the match. tottenham just couldn't keep up with them. it's so cool that eze got his hat-trick in front of his family, that's amazing 
he deserves all the praise for that incredible performance! 
i mean who comes out with guglielmo vicario as their goalie 
his hat-trick was pure magic, i'm still dreaming about it 
Still, Eze's performance was pure magic 
️ and Arsenal are in a great position to take on the rest of the league. Bring it on! 
and i was thinking about how the waves were so gnarly that i almost lost my surfboard 
anyway saw that eze scored like 3 goals and he's literally unstoppable 
They're unstoppable! 
. Richarlison's goal was nice, but not enough to save them. 
This loss might give Arsenal the boost they need heading into their Champions League match against Bayern Munich. Bring it on! 
Can't they just get their act together for once? I mean, come on, you're in the top tier of football and you can't even handle a little north London derby match against Arsenal?
