Arsenal flying high, Richarlison scores a stunner but Eze sinks Tottenham 🤯 | OneFootball

Runner-up in the last three editions of the Premier League, Arsenal gave its fans yet another show of strength.

Showing that it is the team to beat on English soil this season.

They defeated their biggest rival Tottenham 4-1 this Sunday (23), playing at the Emirates.

Even without two of their best players: Gabriel Magalhães and Ødegaard.

Richarlison scored the goal of the day.

But it was Eberechi Eze who stole the show with a hat-trick.

Taking the North London Derby for himself.

Standings 📊

Arsenal now has 29 points out of a possible 36.

They are six points ahead of Chelsea, the runner-up. And their next opponent.

A classic that will be played on Sunday (30). And at Stamford Bridge.

Meanwhile, Tottenham – who had won four of their five away games – are stuck at 18.

They are ninth, but could be overtaken by United (18), who still face Everton (15).

Dominance in the 1st Half 🔴⚪

The first goal in London only came in the 36th minute.

Vicario had already been busy (and how) frustrating Rice and then Saka.

The first to celebrate was Trossard, after a “hand-delivered” pass from Merino.

Arsenal extended the lead before halftime with Eze.

Tottenham tried to lure him from Palace, but he chose Arsenal.

And punished Thomas Frank’s team in the 41st minute. He received from Rice and beat Van de Ven in a tough challenge to send the Gunners’ fans wild.

Richarlison shines, but Eze punishes 🤯

Arsenal’s number 10 increased the rivals’ misery right after the break, scoring again in the 46th minute.

Then came Richarlison’s masterpiece.

After Palhinha won the ball, the Brazilian fired from just past midfield.

And saw Raya fall into the goal.

Tottenham started to dream. They had more possession and fought hard. 

But Arsenal had Eze.

He received with space, left Udogie on the ground and beat Vicario for the third time (76’).

Putting an end to any chance of a rival comeback. 

The final minutes even saw chants of “olé”.

🙄 The drought is long...

Arsenal’s last PL title was won in the 2003/2004 season, when they made history by lifting the trophy without a single defeat.

An achievement reached by the "The Invincibles".

What followed was frustration. And many trophies for a local rival, Chelsea, and Manchester City.

Two clubs that received financial injections and became protagonists.

Arsenal’s great rival during the Wenger era, United, still won five titles before starting their own trophyless period. 

Arsenal also saw Leicester shock the football world and Liverpool end their own drought.

🏆 PL Titles after 2003/04:

Manchester City - 8

Manchester United - 5

Chelsea - 5

Liverpool - 2 

Leicester - 1
