Arsenal delivered a commanding 4‑1 victory over Tottenham in the north London derby, a result that moved them five points clear at the top of the Premier League. Eberechi Eze and Viktor Gyökeres each netting twice.

Manager Mikel Arteta said the win demonstrated Arsenal’s resolve after a frustrating 2‑2 draw at Wolves earlier in the week, a game where they blew a late lead and sparked questions about their consistency. ESPN reports Arteta that the squad “showed what we’re made of” but admitted feelings of frustration and shame lingered from the Wolves result.

The derby performance saw Eze and Gyökeres strike early and often, with Randal Kolo Muani’s equaliser for Tottenham only briefly interrupting Arsenal’s dominance before three decisive second‑half goals sealed the emphatic victory.

Looking ahead, Arsenal and title rivals Manchester City both enjoy a rare week‑long break before their next fixtures, with Arteta stressing he would use the pause to “take a little breath, analyse what we’re doing and go again” amid a demanding run of games.
