Among the Premier League’s Big Six, all are financially strong, but the hardest hit is surely Tottenham. They struggled to avoid relegation last season and face the same battle this season. Their poor league form aside, they have also become the joke of this year’s North London Derby, losing by an 8-2 aggregate score.
In the 27th round of the Premier League, Arsenal won 4-1 away against Tottenham. Combined with their 4-1 home victory earlier this season, they not only completed a double over Spurs but also achieved a staggering 8-2 aggregate score. You can imagine how painful it is for Tottenham fans — they can barely lift their heads in North London.
Arsenal’s new signing this season, Eze, who was bought from another London club Crystal Palace for €69.3 million, has become the “thorn extractor.” He scored five goals across the two North London Derby matches this season, netting a hat-trick at home in the first leg and two goals away in the second. In his debut season at Arsenal, Eze has scored against Tottenham five times in the Premier League.
After the match, Eze posted a photo on social media showing a cross-hand gesture. Wearing the number 10 at Arsenal, he captioned it: “Trust in God’s plan; everything is destined.”
Eze has been an Arsenal fan since childhood. For this player with a “gunner’s dream,” what could be more wonderful than scoring goals for his team in the North London Derby, defeating their fiercest rivals decisively, and leading the Premier League table?
