Arsenal moved five points clear at the top of the Premier League table after a convincing 4-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur in the north London derby. Goals from Eberechi Eze (two) and Victor Gyökeres (two) sealed the win, leaving Spurs in serious relegation danger.
Gyökeres, who was named player of the match by Gary Neville, told Sky Sports he was happy with some aspects of his play but felt he could have done better. Eze credited his work ethic and goals for helping the team, noting that he tries to put other players in dangerous positions.
Arsenal's goals all came from open play, a point highlighted by fans on social media. The result sees Arsenal lead Manchester City by five points, though they have played one game more. Tottenham, meanwhile, sit fifth from bottom, just two points above Nottingham Forest and four above West Ham United.
Spurs' performance was widely criticised, with fans chanting 'sacked in the morning' at full time. The defeat leaves them in a precarious position, with many pundits now fearing relegation is a real possibility. Arsenal, by contrast, will hope this win marks a turning point in their title charge.
