Arsenal Crush Spurs 4-1 in North London Derby: Match Highlights & Result- Tottenham vs Arsenal

North London Derby: Match Briefing

On February 22, 2026, Arsenal secured a resounding 4-1 away victory over Tottenham Hotspur at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The Stakes: The emphatic win restored Mikel Arteta’s side to a comfortable five-point lead at the very top of the Premier League table. Conversely, the bitter defeat plunged Spurs deeper into severe relegation trouble, leaving them entirely vulnerable in 16th place during interim manager Igor Tudor’s first match.

First Half Action: The tense clash ignited in the 32nd minute when Eberechi Eze capitalized on weak defending to volley Arsenal ahead. However, the advantage was short-lived; two minutes later, a Declan Rice mistake allowed Randal Kolo Muani to brilliantly equalize for Tottenham with a powerful low shot.

Second Half Dominance: Arsenal reclaimed complete control immediately after the halftime break. In the 47th minute, Viktor Gyokeres restored the Gunners’ advantage with a sublime curling effort from the edge of the box.

Sealing the Victory: After Kolo Muani had a potential equalizer completely disallowed for a frustrating foul on Gabriel, Arsenal truly dominated the pitch. Eze tapped in his second goal of the afternoon (61′), and Gyokeres quickly capped off a stellar away performance by powering home his second in stoppage time, finalizing a memorable league double.
