Eberechi Eze humiliated Tottenham with a ruthless hat-trick as Arsenal crushed their north London rivals 4–1, extending their Premier League title charge with a savage derby demolition.

Arsenal were sharp, Spurs were soft, and by halftime, it was clear the game wasn’t a contest; it was a statement.
Leandro Trossard and Eze struck early, shredding Spurs’ five-man defence and exposing Thomas Frank’s ultra-defensive philosophy.

Eze, who Tottenham tried desperately to sign months ago, punished them with cruel efficiency, a reminder of the transfer failure that still haunts the club.

Even Richarlison’s miracle long-range strike was only cosmetic damage. Arsenal’s response? Eze’s third, a brutal, clinical dagger.

It was only the fourth hat-trick ever in this storied derby, placing Eze in elite company and leaving Tottenham humiliated yet again at the Emirates.

Arsenal, unbeaten in 15 games across all competitions, tightened their grip on the top of the table, capitalising on Manchester City’s recent stumbles and Liverpool’s implosion.
With Bayern Munich and Chelsea looming next week, the win was perfectly timed.

Tottenham, meanwhile, arrived boasting the league’s best away record, and yet showed no ambition. Frank’s cautious “controlled chaos” philosophy collapsed into pure chaos, with Spurs barely touching the ball in Arsenal’s box.

Trossard’s opener came after Danso fell asleep.
Eze first punished Frank’s arrogance.
Eze’s second, 35 seconds into the second half, roasted the Spurs’ entire defence.
The final strike sealed a derby masterclass.

Tottenham fans left with more questions than hope.
Arsenal left with six more points of breathing room, and a swagger that screams contenders.
