Arsenal midfielder Eberechi Eze tormented Tottenham again as his double revived the Premier League leaders’ title bid in a 4-1 rout of their north London rivals on Sunday, 22nd February, 2026.
Mikel Arteta’s side ended a damaging two-match winless run and moved five points clear of second-placed Manchester City thanks to Eze’s starring role and a brace from Viktor Gyokeres.
Eze, who almost signed for Tottenham last August, volleyed in a 32nd-minute opener only for Randal Kolo Muani to equalise two minutes later after a mistake by Declan Rice.
Gyokeres restored Arsenal’s lead shortly after the interval with a sublime curler and Eze’s second, a tap-in, gave his side breathing space. Gyokeres then capped a fine display with his second goal sealing the deal in stoppage time.
Victory lifted Arsenal to 61 points from 28 games with City, who have played one game fewer, on 56. Tottenham, for whom new manager Igor Tudor was in charge for the first time, remain in 16th place, only four points above the relegation zone.
