00:01Two miles between them geographically, North London is abuzz.
00:06The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium where there's a new head coach in the hot seat.
00:11Is this the beginning of the Tudor dynasty?
00:16Spurs against Arsenal, what a first game in charge for new Spurs head coach Igor Tudor.
00:24Well in English history the Tudor period was one of unprecedented upheaval from the late 1400s to the early 1600s.
00:35Five Tudor kings and queens introduced huge changes that still shape life in this country to the present day.
00:42The Tudor name once reshaped a nation, Spurs hoping this Tudor can reshape their season.
00:51Saka.
00:55Lovely overlapping run by Julia Timber.
00:58Jokoraz came off the upper thigh of Dragosheen.
01:04Early stages here, game still settling down.
01:07Arsenal as league leaders heavily fancied for now by the win probability computer.
01:12What's Vecario doing here? A diving header from the Italian keeper.
01:16Trossard tries to send it back in.
01:18Van de Ven left it there trusting Dragosheen behind him.
01:24Spurs only had three shots in that match and all three of them were hit from outside the penalty area.
01:30Jokoraz takes on Dragosheen.
01:33And that is so close to an early opening goal in the North London derby.
01:40They'll give it away.
01:43Spats runs into Timber.
01:45Eze.
01:47Trossard to Declan Rice.
01:5220 red shirts forward here.
01:54Jokoraz, Dragosheen.
01:56Slides with perfect timing and precision.
01:59Well, that's such an important challenge that.
02:03Saka.
02:07He's done well in around Papsar.
02:09Eze!
02:10Must be and it is!
02:12Ebe Eze scores for the fourth time this season in a North London derby.
02:20And with just over half an hour played.
02:24The league leaders strike.
02:27Yes, it sort of hits him on the foot really.
02:29And then goes up in the air.
02:31We watch.
02:32But then to control that finish like that.
02:35It's really well done.
02:36Excellent.
02:37Just get it on target.
02:38You know it's going to hit it hard.
02:40Almost loses his footing.
02:42Gets back upright.
02:44Knocks it in the back of the net.
02:46Put his team in front.
02:46It is his sixth goal in Arsenal colours.
02:51And four of them now have come against Spurs.
02:58Declan Rice back helping out the defence.
03:01Oh, he's giving it away.
03:03Kolo Mouane.
03:04Randall Kolo Mouane.
03:06An instant reaction.
03:09Spurs bites back straight away.
03:13And in the North London derby.
03:15The Frenchman finally scores his first ever Premier League goal.
03:22And two minutes after going behind.
03:25Arsenal have given away the lead.
03:28And Spurs are back level.
03:31Really good play.
03:32Not sure what Declan Rice is thinking there.
03:35He's just took a little bit of a chance.
03:37And he's got punished for it.
03:40Really good finish.
03:41Hit it hard.
03:42And when it's right close to the goalkeeper.
03:44Close to the leg.
03:44Sometimes awkward to get the hand down there to stop it.
03:47And there's a...
03:51And there's a...
03:54And there's a...
03:55Straight to Incappier.
03:58Saka trying to get in and around the back of Van de Ven.
04:00And what a save by Ficario.
04:03Saka did everything right.
04:05But the Italian goalkeeper was out to smother.
04:09What a game this is at the moment.
04:11It's the second time Van de Ven has got caught with Ficario Saka.
04:14Polo Moane.
04:16Another clever flick to pick out Javi Simons.
04:20And he's slipping.
04:21And he shoots.
04:21And David Reier reacted smartly.
04:24What a start to the delayed second half that could have been.
04:29He's travelled a long way back there, the centre forward.
04:32But really important.
04:34Timber.
04:35Jokeres.
04:36Brilliant strike!
04:39Arsenal recapture the lead in the North London derby.
04:43Victor Jokeres was given time and he was given space.
04:48And you simply cannot afford to do that.
04:51It is.
04:53Four goals in his last five Premier League games now.
04:57For the Swede, Victor Jokeres.
05:00Once the ball goes into this wide right area,
05:03who's getting tight?
05:04The answer to that is nobody.
05:06No one is getting anywhere near the Arsenal centre forward.
05:11And he really hammers that.
05:14The pace, I think, puts it beyond Vicario.
05:18He's immediately up on his feet.
05:21Remonstrating with his defenders.
05:22But the pace on it just flies past him.
05:26It's a magnificent start to the second period for Arsenal, that.
05:32Arsenal holds the lead again.
05:34This time they will have extra determination.
05:37He got Tudor in this brief period he's had with his players.
05:40Can he get them functioning?
05:42Eze has done brilliantly well against Joe Pelinha here.
05:45Eze already on the score sheet today.
05:49Trossard sliding in was Archie Gray.
05:52Arsenal want a corner, but they're not going to get it.
05:54Gallagher.
05:56Pusuma.
05:58Now Gray.
05:59Now Gallagher.
06:00This is the position Judo wanted him to run into.
06:06Trossard did well to come across.
06:07Colomboale.
06:10Two goals.
06:11They've done it again.
06:12Instant response again.
06:14But is this one going to be disallowed?
06:17I think there's a little shove in his back.
06:19Igor Tudor, you can see what he's saying.
06:21He's saying it's a dive.
06:23But it's on Gabriel actually.
06:25It's just a hand in his back.
06:27Has he exaggerated the fall there?
06:30Yeah, he probably has a lot.
06:32He actually has a lot, but it's enough.
06:34There is a push in his back.
06:39I mean, I'll tell you, it's not a lot.
06:41You see more.
06:42You see more from any corner.
06:45Coming into the box around the goalkeeper than that.
06:49For Igor Tudor.
06:51Here's Eze.
06:52Great return to Saka.
06:54Vacario's stop.
06:56That was such a clever one too.
06:58It certainly was.
06:59Really sharp play, wasn't it?
07:01Saka does well to get that shot away.
07:03I feel Igor Tudor's got to go for this.
07:06His first game, North London derby.
07:09Gotta be brave.
07:11Oh, Eze for Saka.
07:14Bukayo Saka.
07:15Vacario holds him up.
07:16Eze again!
07:19Two goals today for Eze.
07:21Set five in North London derbies for Arsenal's number 10 this season.
07:28And the league leaders have now got a two-goal cushion.
07:33Good watch again.
07:35Just here.
07:35They're a bit static.
07:37Once Eze pinches that ball, all of a sudden it's all one touch from Arsenal and Spurs are chasing.
07:42It gets caught under...
07:45Jao Paulinho's foot.
07:47And just falls invitingly for Eze just to knock it in the back of the net.
07:50But really good play from Arsenal once more.
07:54He's been reserving his biggest days for Spurs this season.
08:00Hat-trick in November.
08:02He then went 18 matches in all competitions without scoring.
08:06And now Eze is on a hat-trick again.
08:10Yeah.
08:11They know the importance of that one.
08:14Having given away a one-goal advantage in the first half.
08:18Arsenal now lead 3-1.
08:20Yeah.
08:21And it feels like that is a significant shift in this game, doesn't it?
08:25It really does.
08:28Spence looking for Solanke.
08:31The mistake by Declan Rice.
08:34Top side.
08:36Spence.
08:39Taking all in.
08:40Kapiak.
08:40Great ball in.
08:41The flick from Richarlison.
08:42Did it go over the line?
08:44What a start.
08:45Arsenal's defence celebrates.
08:47How did that not go in?
08:50Great play, Jed Spence.
08:51Brilliant play down the right side.
08:53Bobbin and Weaving and Jinkin gets to the byline.
08:55Smashes it into the six-yard box.
08:59And Richarlison very nearly.
09:02Steering that with a clever flick.
09:03But brilliant play from the goalkeeper.
09:06To react and turn round and see it.
09:08And then get that big right hand on it.
09:10Amazing stuff.
09:17Tell.
09:19Plenty to aim at.
09:20Richarlison gets his head to it.
09:22But didn't have the velocity to threaten David Raya.
09:27Mattinelli.
09:28Maduike.
09:29Oldergaard.
09:30Three substitutes combining.
09:32Jokeres.
09:33Is he in again?
09:33He is, you know.
09:35That's it today.
09:39Arsenal get their fourth.
09:42Five goals in the game.
09:44And Arsenal moving five points clear again.
09:49At the top of the Premier League table.
09:52Brilliant.
09:53Really good play.
09:54Some lovely one touch.
09:56Perfect little ball through from Odegaard.
09:58And then the strength.
09:59The belief.
10:00The determination.
10:01Just to make sure he holds his position.
10:05And he's got the confidence today.
10:07To knock that one as well past.
10:10Vicario.
10:11It's a brilliant goal.
10:12But it's an outstanding display by him today.
10:14He's been really good.
10:15He's led the line.
10:16Like a proper number nine.
10:234-1 in November at the Emirates.
10:264-1 to Arsenal again.
10:29At Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in February.
10:32Just made it look very easy that save.
10:36The first game of the post-Thomas Frank era.
10:38Begins with a defeat for Spurs.
10:41Still without a Premier League win in 2026.
10:43For Mikel Arteta.
10:45He has now won five North London derbies in a row.
10:49First time Arsenal have done that since the 1980s.
10:52His team move five points clear again.
10:54At the top of the Premier League.
10:57Two goals from Eze.
10:58Two goals from Jokeres.
10:59The cockerel is silenced today.
11:02As the cannon roars loud.
11:04The 199th North London derby goes to Arsenal.
11:08The title charge ain't dead.
11:12North London remains red.
11:14Spurs won Arsenal four.
