Arsenal defeated Tottenham Hotspur 4-1 at White Hart Lane on Sunday, February 22.
The Gunners ended a two-match winless run and moved five points clear of second-placed Manchester City thanks to Eberechi Eze's starring role and a brace from Viktor Gyokeres.
Eze gave Arsenal the lead in the 32nd minute before Randal Kolo Muani grabbed an instant equaliser, two minutes later.

Gyokeres settled Arsenal's nerves immediately after the interval in the 47th minute, Eze bagged the third in the 61st minute, before the former Sporting Lisbon star wrapped up a valuable victory in the 90+4 minutes.
After a difficult first season following his move from Sporting Lisbon, Gyokeres' goals were as cathartic for the Sweden striker as Eze's were for him, per beinSPORTS.
Arteta reacts to Arsenal's win
Speaking after the end of the match, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said Viktor Gyokeres played his best game against Tottenham since joining the club.
The Spanish coach also acknowledged the performance of Eberechi Eze. He said via the club's website:
“I think it’s probably the best game that he (Gyokeres) has played for us. The most complete of the two goals by his overall performance, I think, was incredible, and Ebs as well.
"I mean, now he has another incredible experience playing against them, and I'm very happy because he deserved it.
“I’m so proud, so proud of the boys, the team, and I'm giving some context as well about the situation."
Arteta said the win over Tottenham will reshape the mentality of the players, as they enter into a critical stage of the season. He said:
“And it feels like you are at the bottom, and you're not good enough, and you are angry, and upset, and ashamed. But then it's okay. Each chapter is part of the journey, part of the history of the season. Now, how are we going to use that to define our season? That was the reaction that we wanted."
