In a dominant display, Arsenal midfielder Eberechi Eze showcased his exceptional skills with a hat-trick in the Gunners' 4-1 win over Tottenham in the north London derby on Sunday. The victory marked a significant boost to Arsenal's title charge, leaving them six points clear at the top of the Premier League. Eze's impressive performance was a statement of intent for the team, who outclassed their opponents at the Emirates Stadium. He netted twice in the first half, with Leandro Trossard scoring the opening goal in the 36th minute. Eze then sealed his treble with a stunning strike in the 76th minute, following Richarlison's long-range effort in the 55th minute. The win marked Arsenal's seventh consecutive unbeaten north London derby, and their 33rd win in 34 home matches against their rivals. The Gunners' 10-match winning streak was snapped by Sunderland's late equaliser, but Eze's performance ensured that the bitter taste of that loss was quickly forgotten. Tottenham, who arrived with the Premier League's best away record, struggled to find their footing in the match. Manager Thomas Frank's conservative approach was criticized by fans, and his decision to use five defenders backfired, leaving the team exposed to Arsenal's counter-attacks. The win marked a significant turning point in the season, with Arsenal now well-positioned to take advantage of Manchester City's struggles and Liverpool's turmoil. A visit from Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Wednesday and a trip to second-placed Chelsea next weekend will be crucial tests for the Gunners, but they head into these matches with renewed confidence and momentum.
