VIDEO: Arsenal thrash Spurs without Romero, extend Premier lead | OneFootball

The Gunners convincingly defeated the Spurs at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, securing three points that ensure their top position in the Premier League.

With great decisiveness, the reds of London were superior in the north London derby and gave no chances to the Spurs in their own home.

With a commanding performance, they thrashed the white team of London, which offered little resistance on the cold British night. For the Spurs, there was a significant factor: absences. The main one? Cuti Romero, out due to suspension - returning on 3/15 vs. Liverpool; along with #17, ten other players were out, all due to injury.

For the Gunners, Eberechi Eze opened the scoring at 32′ with a right-footed shot inside the area and received an almost immediate response from the team with the cockerel on the crest, who equalized 2′ later through Randal Kolo Muani, thanks to an error on the right side by Declan Rice.

In the second half, Mikel Arteta and Gabriel Heinze's team surged: Viktor Gyokeres received completely alone at the edge of the box at 47′ and positioned his body to place the ball near the right post. From then on, it was almost all Gunner: the only exception was another equalizing play by Kolo Muani, who had scored after committing a foul on the rival defender, which was therefore disallowed.

The left-footed former Crystal Palace player caught a rebound inside the area almost falling at 61′ and scored the third goal for the PL leaders, marking the definitive trend of the match. Towards the end, at 94′, the Swedish forward repeated and finished very well inside the area for the final 4 to 1.

Thus, the Spanish coach's team remained at the top of the world's best league with 61 points in 28 matches, ensuring another week away from their main pursuer, Manchester City, who have 56 points with one game less. Meanwhile, Tottenham - with the debut of their new coach Igor Tudor - remained 16th with just 29 points, four above the first relegation spot.
