Match details from the derby win

Arsenal showed confidence throughout the match and moved the ball with purpose.

Tottenham struggled to deal with Arsenal’s pace in wide areas, and the home side found openings at key moments.

Spurs pushed forward after their goal, but Arsenal stayed organised and completed the job with little pressure.

Four interesting facts about today’s victory for Arsenal

Eze produced a standout performance and made club history. He became the first Arsenal player in 47 years to score a hat-trick in a north London derby.

The England international joined Arsenal in the summer, and this display has placed him in the history of the club very early in his time here.

Richarlison’s goal created another remarkable moment in the match. His strike from 35 yards is now the farthest goal scored in the league this season.

He collected the ball after Martin Zubimendi lost possession and sent a powerful effort over David Raya, who was off his line.

Piero Hincapie marked a special milestone in the derby as well. He became the first Ecuadorian player ever to start a north London derby for Arsenal.

He stepped in for the injured Gabriel Magalhaes and partnered with William Saliba in the centre of defence.

Arsenal also stopped a notable Tottenham run with this result. They became the first side to defeat Thomas Frank’s team away from home in the league this season.

Spurs have faced issues at home, but their away form has been strong. Arsenal broke that streak and added extra weight to their victory.

Arsenal will now shift attention to their Champions League meeting with Bayern Munich as they aim to maintain their strong run of form.
