Eze admits Arsenal wanted to make a statement against Tottenham

Eberechi Eze has now scored five goals against Tottenham in just two league appearances as an Arsenal player, underlining his evident affinity for facing the Lilywhites. His brace this evening played a decisive role in securing another victory for the Gunners over their North London rivals.

The result ensured that Arsenal claimed all three points at a crucial stage of the season. With recent performances having seen them drop points in consecutive league matches, there was added pressure to deliver a response. Eze’s contribution proved central to that reaction, as he once again demonstrated his capacity to influence significant fixtures.

A Timely Response

Arsenal entered the match aware that Tottenham possessed the quality to cause problems. Given the Gunners’ recent dip in form, many observers expected Spurs to capitalise. However, Mikel Arteta’s side approached the contest with renewed focus and intensity.

Having failed to win their previous two league games, Arsenal understood the importance of reasserting control in the title race. The victory not only restored confidence but also reinforced their determination to maintain momentum in the closing weeks of the campaign. Eze’s clinical finishing and attacking movement were instrumental in breaking down Tottenham’s resistance and ensuring the match swung decisively in Arsenal’s favour.

Eze Reflects on the Win

Speaking after the game via the BBC, Eze acknowledged the need for a strong response when asked whether the team had to react to their recent results. He said:

“Yeah, for sure that’s the main thing. We know what we’re capable of. We have to play games to dominate and to win and we’ve got the players in the team to do it. Important win for us and we keep going.”

Eze’s comments reflect the collective belief within the squad and the determination to sustain their push in the league.
