Eze Explodes in North London Derby as Arsenal Make Spurs Look Lost

It was the stuff of history and the hint of future glory. While it may be far too early to call this the day Arsenal secured the 2025-26 title, Saturday’s north London derby was undoubtedly the afternoon Eberechi Eze announced himself as a genuine superstar.

Scoring a hat-trick — only the fourth in the fixture’s history and the first since 1978 — was one thing. Doing it against the club he nearly joined in the summer, Tottenham Hotspur, made it unforgettable.
