Arsenal Rout Spurs 4-1 as Eze, Gyokeres Hit Braces to Restore Five-Point Lead

The performance steadied Arsenal’s title push after questions raised by recent draws.

Overview

  • Eberechi Eze and Viktor Gyokeres each scored twice at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in a one-sided North London Derby.
  • The win puts Arsenal on 61 points from 28 games, five clear of Manchester City, who have 56 and a game in hand.
  • It was Arsenal’s biggest league away victory at Tottenham since 1978 and their second 4-1 derby success over Spurs this season.
  • Igor Tudor’s debut as Tottenham’s interim manager ended with his side 16th, four points above the relegation zone and winless in nine league matches.
  • A technical VAR issue delayed the second-half restart, and Mikel Arteta described the result as a cathartic release after “72 hours in hell.”
