Arsenal delivered a commanding 4-1 victory over Tottenham in the north London derby, with Eberechi Eze and Viktor Gyökeres each scoring twice to secure the win. Randal Kolo Muani briefly equalized for Spurs, but the Gunners' dominance was clear throughout the match at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

New Tottenham head coach Igor Tudor, who replaced Thomas Frank earlier this month, called Arsenal "probably the best team in the world" after the heavy defeat. Tudor acknowledged the massive gap between the teams, noting that Spurs lacked confidence and struggled without the ball. The Croatian manager has 11 league games to save Spurs from relegation.

Despite a second-half goal from Kolo Muani being disallowed for a push on Gabriel, Tudor accepted the referee's decision without complaint. The loss extends Spurs' winless run in 2026, while Arsenal continue their title charge. Tudor emphasized the need for his team to change habits and mindset, calling the match "a game to show the reality" of where Spurs currently stand in the Premier League hierarchy.
