Arsenal star Eberechi Eze has made Tottenham Hotspur eat their words in the North London Derby.
The Gunners were the favourites going into the game at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday, and they did not disappoint.
Leandro Trossard opened the scoring, but from that point, it was the Eze show. The Englishman scored a stunning hat-trick and made one of Tottenham’s attempts to mock him look ridiculous.
Eberechi Eze makes Tottenham’s social media post look embarrassing
It is no secret that Tottenham tried very hard to sign Eberechi Eze in the summer.
At one point, the move really looked like it was going to happen, but Arsenal swooped in at the last minute, and the attacker chose the Gunners.
Spurs had to save face, so they spent big money to sign Xavi Simons from RB Leipzig. The Dutchman is a good player, but he’s not on Eze’s level.
Yet, Tottenham thought it would be a good idea to mock Arsenal and their number 10.
After Arsenal used the ‘Let it all work out’ tune while announcing the Eze signing, Tottenham took to social media and used those four words to celebrate Simons’ arrival.
That decision totally backfired on Sunday.
Eze absolutely battered Tottenham. He scored thrice, could’ve scored one or two more, and was the star of the show at the Emirates.
Simons, on the other hand, came on as a substitute, and the highlight of his game was getting tackled by Declan Rice.
Spurs should just delete that post now.
Who was Arsenal’s Man of the Match vs Tottenham? Eberechi Eze matched a 47-year North London Derby record
It’s not often that you see hat-tricks in the North London Derby.
It is so rare that it has happened just four times in the history of this fixture, which was first played between Arsenal and Tottenham in 1896.
The last time a player scored three goals in a game between the two North London rivals was all the way back in 1978 – Alan Sunderland was the man who took home the match ball that day.
Now, 47 years later, Eze has matched that feat, and Arsenal fans will remember this for a long, long time.
