Arsenal moved six points clear at the top of the Premier League table on Sunday, courtesy of a 4–1 victory in the north London derby inspired by Eberechi Eze.
The man who came so close to joining Tottenham Hotspur in the summer scored just the fourth hat-trick in this fixture’s long history after Leandro Trossard opened the scoring.
Their visitors remain without a league win at the Emirates since 2010, and Thomas Frank may well have lost the faith of some Tottenham supporters, given the nature of their display here. Richarlison’s stunning finish was the only highlight on what was a bleak day for the Lilywhites.
But for Arsenal: bliss. They’re cruising at the summit, and this was the performance of champions.
