Overview
- Leandro Trossard opened the scoring before Eberechi Eze struck in the 41st minute and twice after the break to seal his first senior hat-trick.
- Richarlison briefly cut the deficit with an audacious long-range lob, Tottenham's first shot, but Arsenal remained in control.
- Frank started with a back five then reverted to a back four at halftime, as Spurs produced just three shots and 0.07 expected goals.
- Eze, whom Arsenal signed after fending off Tottenham's summer pursuit, became only the fourth player to net a hat-trick in this rivalry.
- Arsenal sit on 29 points from 12 games with Spurs ninth, and next face Bayern Munich before a league trip to second-placed Chelsea.
