Arsenal sent a statement in the Premier League title race with a 4-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur in the North London Derby.
The Gunners eased past their North London neighbours, courtesy of braces from Eberechi Eze and Viktor Gyokeres. Here are all the best stats from a memorable Arsenal win on enemy soil.
- Eberechi Eze's opening goal for Arsenal was his first in the Premier League since scoring against Tottenham in November. Eze had gone 11 league games without a goal for the Gunners. Amazingly, his opener was also his first shot on target in the Premier League since scoring his hat-trick goal against Spurs back in November.
- Eze is only the second player to score 4+ goals in North London derbies in a single league campaign. The previous player to achieve the feat was Ted Drake, in 1934-35.
- After his five goals against Spurs this season, only four players have ever scored more North London derby goals than Eze in the Premier League era; Harry Kane, Heung-min Son, Emmanuel Adebayor and Robert Pires. Eze's five goals have matched the North London derby hauls of Thierry Henry, Gareth Bale and Robin van Persie.
- Arsenal's 4-1 win was the club's largest away league win at Tottenham for 48 years, when the Gunners won 5-0 in December 1978.
- Arsenal have won both league meetings with Tottenham by 3+ goals in the same season for only the second time. The previous time occurred in 1934-35.
- No Premier League player has scored more goals than Viktor Gyokeres across all competitions in 2026 (8).
- Igor Tudor is the first Tottenham manager to lose their first Premier League game in over a decade. The previous nine managers were all unbeaten in their first fixture. Andres Villas-Boas was the last head coach to lose on debut, in August 2012.
