Arsenal Thrash Spurs 4-1 as Eze and Gyokeres Fire Title Charge
Arsenal stormed back to the top of the Premier League in emphatic style, dismantling Tottenham 4-1 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and sending a stark warning to the rest of the title race. From the opening whistle, it was clear that Mikel Arteta’s side were determined to take control and despite a brief scare, their quality proved far too much for their north London rivals.
Eberechi Eze was the standout, scoring twice and continuing his remarkable record against Spurs. His first goal came after sharp interplay with Bukayo Saka, slotting the ball neatly into the net in the 32nd minute. Tottenham responded almost immediately through Randal Kolo Muani, capitalizing on a rare lapse from Declan Rice to level the score. But any hope of a Spurs comeback was short-lived. Viktor Gyokeres struck early in the second half, restoring Arsenal’s lead with a powerful shot from outside the box and Eze added a second, giving Arsenal a comfortable cushion. Gyokeres sealed the emphatic win deep into stoppage time, capping off a performance that highlighted Arsenal’s attacking depth and cohesion.

For Tottenham, it was a night of frustration. Igor Tudor’s first match in charge saw him implement a new 3-5-2 formation, but injuries and a lack of cohesion left Spurs chasing shadows for much of the game. Their possession numbers were dismal, particularly in the first half and while the team showed glimpses of intensity and aggression, it wasn’t enough to match Arsenal’s pace and precision. The defeat leaves Tottenham perilously close to the relegation zone, with only four points separating them from 18th place. It’s a stark contrast to the electric atmosphere inside their stadium, which felt rejuvenated after recent managerial changes, yet still unable to influence the scoreboard.
This result has significant implications for the Premier League title race. Arsenal now sit five points clear of Manchester City, with a game in hand, reinforcing their credentials as serious title contenders. Their front four showed fluidity and coordination, while the performances of players like Saka, Eze and Gyokeres demonstrate the squad’s growing confidence and attacking threat. Tottenham, meanwhile, face a daunting run of fixtures with relegation looming, making Tudor’s early tenure a critical period to stabilize the team.
As the league enters its final stretch, performances in matches like this could define both the title race and the battle at the bottom. Arsenal have not only secured three vital points but also sent a message: they are ready to challenge for the crown and their rivals must respond.
