In a North London derby on February 22, 2026, Arsenal defeated Tottenham 4-1, reigniting their Premier League title hopes. Eberechi Eze, who previously scored a hat-trick against Spurs, netted two goals, while Viktor Gyokeres also scored twice for Arsenal. Eze, an Arsenal boyhood fan, had nearly joined Tottenham before signing with Arsenal. Tottenham briefly equalized at 1-1, but Arsenal ultimately dominated, regaining a five-point lead over Manchester City, though City has a game in hand. This victory marks a difficult start for new Tottenham manager Igor Tudor. Arsenal has ten league games remaining in their pursuit of their first title since 2004.
