Eberechi Eze became the first English player in 47 years to score a hat-trick in the north London derby as Arsenal beat Tottenham 4-1.

Eberechi Eze was the star of the show as Arsenal won the north London derby in fine fashion.

From kickoff, the Gunners showed that they wanted it more and Eze showed why he was brought to the squad. He gave a glimmer of his magic in the early stages of the game when he pinged a pass to Declan Rice who crashed his shot on the onrushing Vicario.

Tottenham managed to survive Arteta’s Arsenal for the first 30 minutes but in the 36th minute, the deadlock was broken by Leandro Trossard.

Five minutes later, Tottenham’s almost-signee, Eberechi Eze had his name on the scoresheet and he began running the show.

Five minutes after his first goal, Eze got a brace and exactly 30 minutes later, he secured his hat-trick, condemning Tottenham to a heavy defeat and making Richarlison’s outrageous strike to deny Arsenal a clean sheet count for nothing.

For Eze, it has actually worked out and a hat-trick against those who almost signed you is quite the story.

For Arsenal, it’s three crucial points and a chance to increase their lead at the top of the Premier League table.
