Premier League: Arsenal cruise to a 4-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur

Arsenal beat Tottenham 4-1 with braces from Eberechi Eze and Viktor Gyokeres, restoring a five-point lead over Manchester City in the Premier League title race.

"In just two matches against Spurs, Eze has scored five Premier League goals - Match Report"

London, February 23

Eberechi Eze and Viktor Gyokeres each bagged a brace as Arsenal cruised to a 4-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur, restoring their five-point cushion over Manchester City at the top of the Premier League points table.

Eze, who'd already made history with a hat-trick against Spurs at the Emirates last November, kept his personal streak alive after snubbing a move to Tottenham and returning to his boyhood club from Crystal Palace. His two goals, paired with Gyokeres's clinical finish, sealed a dominant performance that underlined Arsenal's title charge.

The win restored Arsenal's five-point buffer to Manchester City, although the Gunners have now played one more game than their title rivals. Both sides have four more Premier League matches until they play each other at the Etihad Stadium on 18 April.

In just two matches against Spurs, Eze has scored five Premier League goals, more than any other Arsenal player except for Emmanuel Adebayor (six) and Robert Pires (seven). Incredibly, Eze is already level with Thierry Henry and Robin van Persie.

In another fixture, Nottingham Forest fell to defeat against Liverpool at the City Ground. Liverpool's Alexis Mac Allister finally broke the deadlock deep into stoppage time, turning a lacklustre 90-minute display into a 1-0 smash-and-grab at the City Ground.

After a pedestrian 90 minutes with barely a shot on target, Mac Allister sparked the drama with a stoppage-time strike that was ruled out for handball, only to smash home the rebound in the 97th minute and snatch the win.

The title race is so exciting this year! But that City game in hand is a huge worry for Arsenal fans. The pressure is immense. Also, Liverpool getting that late win... typical. The Premier League is the best league in the world for drama.

Eze is already level with Henry and Van Persie in goals against Spurs? That's insane stat! Shows his quality and passion for the club. Hope he keeps this form. The match was over by half-time, Spurs were nowhere to be seen. COYG!

Respectfully, the article focuses a lot on Arsenal but that Liverpool result is massive too. Mac Allister with a 97th-minute winner! That's the kind of grit champions have. The title race is going down to the wire, and City are still the favorites in my book.

As a neutral fan from Mumbai, I just enjoy the football! Both games had great stories. Eze's revenge and Liverpool's last-minute steal. This is why we stay up late to watch! The quality of the Premier League is unmatched. 😊

Good win, but let's not get carried away. The real test is at the Etihad next month. City have that extra game and Pep's experience. Arsenal's defense looked a bit shaky at times today. Need to be more solid to lift the trophy.
