Eze Fires Arsenal Six Points Clear with Historic Hat-Trick
Arsenal have surged six points clear at the summit of the Premier League after a stunning 4-1 victory over arch-rivals Tottenham Hotspur, a triumph masterminded by a phenomenal Eberechi Eze hat-trick. The 27-year-old, who joined his boyhood club after snubbing a move to Spurs, delivered a performance for the ages in Sunday's North London Derby, becoming the first player in half a century to score a treble in this fierce fixture.
A Ruthless Response to Transfer Talk
When questioned post-match about his decision to reject Tottenham in favour of a move to the Emirates, Eze delivered a stinging, five-word put-down that underlined his commitment to the Gunners. "Let's not speak about that," he stated, ruthlessly shutting down any discussion of what might have been for their rivals. His on-pitch actions spoke even louder than his words, with his two second-half goals compounding the misery for a deflated Tottenham side.
A Landmark Performance in Derby Folklore
Eze's match-winning contribution was not just significant for the three points; it was historic. His three goals marked the first hat-trick in a North London Derby for 50 years, etching his name into the club's record books. This landmark achievement, combined with his cool dismissal of Tottenham's past interest, has instantly made him a hero amongst the Arsenal faithful. The comprehensive win solidifies Arsenal's position as serious title contenders, leaving their closest rivals with a significant gap to close.
