Arsenal move six points clear at the top after a dominant 4–1 win powered by Eze’s best performance yet.
Arsenal took a strong step in the Premier League title race on Sunday after beating Tottenham 4–1 at the Emirates Stadium. The night belonged to Eberechi Eze, who scored a stunning hat-trick and delivered one of the best individual displays of the season.
Eze, who has settled well since joining Arsenal, played on a level of his own. His movement looked smooth and calm, as if he floated just above the pitch. Each of his goals came with the same sense of ease, almost surprising a Tottenham side that struggled from the start.
The moment that captured the match came with his third goal. Eze received the ball near the Spurs penalty area, stopped suddenly, and watched as defender Destiny Udogie slipped trying to follow him. With space opening in front of him, Eze placed his shot into the corner, sealing the win and sending the crowd into full celebration.
Before Eze took control, Arsenal opened the scoring with a clean move finished by Leandro Trossard after a smart pass from Mikel Merino. Eze then added Arsenal’s second following a well-timed ball from Declan Rice. His second goal came only 36 seconds into the second half, again showing his light touch and quick finishing.
Tottenham, under Thomas Frank, struggled badly. Their midfield made only a handful of passes early in the match, and their attempts to slow the game down left them looking disconnected. By the time they tried to respond, Arsenal had full control.
With this win, Arsenal move seven points ahead of Manchester City and continue showing confidence as the season reaches its crucial period. The team has sometimes hesitated in past title races, but against Spurs they played with clarity, speed and a sense of freedom.
Eze’s performance added something new to Arsenal’s season. His creativity and calm presence gave them a different balance and reminded supporters why the club believed he could make an instant impact. The win also showed how far the team has come under Mikel Arteta, finding a way to rise to big moments with a new level of maturity.
As November ends, Arsenal hold a strong position at the top and with Eze in this kind of form, the title race looks even more promising for them.
