Mikel Arteta’s side were too strong for timid Tottenham as Leandro Trossard and Eze netted in the first half at the Emirates Stadium.

Eze, who spurned Tottenham’s advances to join Arsenal in the close season, struck again in the second half.

Richarlison’s incredible long-range goal reduced the deficit, but it was no consolation as Eze completed his superb treble to fire the Gunners six points clear at the top.
