Gunners Rout Spurs 4-1 in North London Derby

Arsenal emphatically defeated Tottenham 4-1 in the North London Derby, with Eberechi Eze and Viktor Gyokeres each scoring braces as the Gunners strengthened their Premier League title credentials.

Arsenal's comprehensive victory marked their largest away league win at Tottenham for 48 years. Eze's opener ended an 11-game league goal drought and made him only the second player to score 4+ goals in North London derbies in a single campaign, matching Ted Drake's 1934-35 feat. His five goals against Spurs this season place him fifth in the all-time Premier League derby scorers list, tied with legends like Thierry Henry.

Gyokeres' eight goals across all competitions lead the Premier League in 2026. The win also represented a historic achievement for Arsenal, becoming only the second time they've beaten Tottenham by 3+ goals in both league meetings of a season. For Tottenham, Igor Tudor became the first manager to lose his first Premier League game in over a decade, ending a run of nine previous managers remaining unbeaten in their debut fixture.
