Arsenal duo of Eberechi Eze and Viktor Gyökeres scored a brace each as the Gunners thrashed Tottenham 4-1 in Sunday’s Premier League game to extend their lead on the league table to five points.
The opening goal of the derby arrived in the 32nd minute, as Arsenal deservedly took the lead through Eze
The lead didn’t last long, however. Tottenham took just 122 seconds to level the scores, with Randal Kolo Muani netting his first Premier League goal in his 19th appearance in the competition.

It didn’t take long for Arsenal to make their attacking intent count after half-time, with Gyökeres continuing his great recent form with a superb finish from outside the box in the 47th minute.
Two other goals from Eze and Gyokeres extended the Gunners’ lead to 4-1.
Spurs nearly reduced the deficit in the 84th minute following Richarlison’s flick, but Raya sensationally prevented the ball from crossing the line with an outstretched arm when the ball looked like it was going into the goal.
The victory means Arsenal remain top of the league table on 61 points while Tottenham sit 16th on 29 points.

Is Ebere Eze the weapon fashioned against Tottenham?
Eze no wan take eye see Spurs. He just dey vex anytime he comes across dem.
He tear dem hat trick when they met earlier in the season, and today he hit them again with a brace.
At this point, Tottenham fans will be having Eze nightmares!
In fact, put a Tottenham shirt in front of Eze, and he becomes a balloon d’or contender instantly, lol.
Interesting to note that Eze has been finding an Arsenal starting jersey hard to come by until today. Arteta probably started him, bearing in mind his impact in their previous encounter, a decision which has paid off handsomely. But surely, after a performance like this, we can expect that Eze has played himself back into the starting line up.
With the Arsenal front line firing like they did today, the club’s long wait for the league title might be coming to an end.
