Arsenal Run Riot in North London Derby with Dominant 4–1 Victory Over Tottenham
February 22, 2026
230d agoArsenal produced a commanding performance in what was one of the standout matches of the weekend, running out 4-1 winners over Tottenham Hotspur at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The Gunners took an early lead through Eberechi Eze in the 32nd minute, only for Tottenham’s Randal Kolo Muani to level the score just two minutes later — his first Premier League goal. However, Arsenal regained control after the break and never looked back.
The visitors dominated the second half with two goals from Viktor Gyökeres and a second strike from Eze, completing a memorable performance that underscored their title credentials. Gyökeres opened the second-half scoring shortly after the restart and added a late goal deep into stoppage time, while Eze’s second came in the 61st minute as Arsenal capitalised on Tottenham’s defensive lapses.
For Tottenham, the result was a tough blow in what was interim manager Igor Tudor’s first match in charge, as his side remain winless in league play so far in 2026 and sit perilously close to the relegation zone. Spurs showed glimpses of fight but struggled to contain Arsenal’s attacking threats and lacked cohesion in key moments.
The win was significant for Arsenal as it bolstered their Premier League title challenge, extending their lead at the top of the table and providing a response after dropped points in their previous matches. The authoritative performance in a fierce derby highlighted their attacking depth and resilience as they head into the final stretch of the season.
