Arsenal fans expected fire. What they got was fireworks — courtesy of Eberechi Eze, who delivered a derby debut for the history books. The Gunners stormed to a commanding 4-1 victory over Tottenham, with Eze bagging a sensational hat-trick that electrified the Emirates and reminded Spurs of exactly what they missed in the summer.
Leandro Trossard set the tone early, slotting home after a gorgeous Mikel Merino through ball. But from there, it became the Eberechi Eze Show — quick feet, cold finishing, and pure confidence from a player who looked like he was born for these moments.
His first strike came after weaving past defenders. His second? A thunderbolt from the edge of the box seconds after the restart. His third? Ice-cold efficiency to seal Arsenal’s authority and keep them six points clear at the top of the Premier League.
Tottenham’s only spark was Richarlison’s audacious 40-yard stunner, but even that couldn’t dim the glow around Arsenal’s newest superstar.
Just a few highlights—no long bullet list:
Eberechi Eze – 10/10
Derby debut perfection. Three goals, endless flair, season-defining confidence.
Leandro Trossard – 8/10
Opened the scoring and created chances all game. Intelligent movement and energy.
Jurrien Timber – 8/10
Dominant, composed, and bagged an assist. A complete performance.
Bukayo Saka – 8/10
Constant threat. Always involved in the most dangerous moments.
David Raya – 6/10
Not much to do, but was caught off guard by Richarlison’s wonder strike.
With Manchester City slipping and Arsenal showing the kind of hunger that defines champions, this win could be a major psychological milestone in the title race.
Eze’s arrival is beginning to look like the missing puzzle piece — creative, brave, and ruthless in the final third. Performances like this don’t just win derbies; they shape seasons.
Arsenal fans will talk about this derby for years. Tottenham fans? Maybe not so much.
But one thing is clear: Eberechi Eze has arrived, and if this is a preview of what’s coming, the Premier League might just have a new artist on its hands.
