Eze scores a double, Arsenal wins big against Tottenham away from home

For the first time in the Premier League era, a player scored 5 goals in 2 North London derbies in the same season.

After a hat-trick against Tottenham in the first leg, Eze went through a streak of 18 consecutive matches without scoring, before exploding again with a double against his city rivals.

Against a Tottenham with a weakened force due to injury storm, Arsenal quickly imposed their game and controlled most of the match time. Eze opened the score for The Gunners with a beautiful shot after Bukayo Saka's accurate cross.

However, the advantage of the away team did not last long when Kolo Muani equalized almost immediately for the home team. However, that was also a rare highlight that the "Roosters" created in their sanctuary.

Stepping into the second half, Arsenal continued to maintain the initiative. The persistent pressure of the away team was concretized by Viktor Gyokeres' super long-range shot from outside the penalty area. This goal almost extinguished all hopes of Tottenham reversing the situation.

In the 61st minute, Saka had a chance to face Guglielmo Vicario but could not take advantage of it. However, Eze appeared at the right time, rushed in and rebounded into the empty net, putting an end to the one-way derby. In a depleted game, Tottenham also conceded another goal in the 90+5 minute after Gyokeres' breakthrough and decisive finish.

This victory helps Arsenal widen the gap with Man City to 5 points, despite having played one more match. In the next round, Mikel Arteta's team will host Chelsea at home, while Man City will travel to Leeds' stadium.
