Eberechi Eze once again proved his worth as Arsenal's late-season specialist, tormenting Tottenham with a brace in Sunday's crucial north London derby. The £60m summer signing has now scored five goals against Spurs this season, joining elite company with only Robert Pires and Emmanuel Adebayor having more Premier League goals for the Gunners against their rivals.

Eze's knack for delivering when it matters most continues to shine, with 19 of his 40 Premier League goals coming from the 30th game onwards. The England international's winning goal in last season's FA Cup final against Manchester City and his hat-trick in Arsenal's 4-1 November victory over Spurs underscore his ability to perform in high-pressure situations. His latest display came despite limited playing time recently, having started only his second league match since December.

Teammate Viktor Gyokeres also stepped up with a double, bringing his 2026 tally to eight goals across all competitions - the most by any Premier League player this calendar year. The £64m summer signing from Sporting has found form at precisely the right moment as Arsenal maintain their five-point lead at the top of the table. With a trip to Manchester City at the Etihad looming in April, Eze and Gyokeres appear to be hitting their stride just as the title race intensifies.
