Arsenal fans were already buzzing after Eberechi Eze’s electric hat-trick in the 4–1 demolition of Tottenham, but things reached a new level when the club posted a simple, powerful tribute on their official X account.
They posted:
The message set off a wave of emotional, funny, and passionate reactions, each fan trying to capture the magnitude of what Eze had just done. Many supporters didn’t just see it as a brilliant performance; they saw a moment that would live in Arsenal folklore.
Softfootball had earlier reported both fans’ reactions to the result, with Tottenham fans expressing disappointment, while Arsenal fans are over the moon, and rightfully so.
One fan, Ararso Abdulatif (@ararsoabdull), wanted to highlight the almost comic-book nature of Eze’s performance. In his eyes, Eze didn’t just play well, he moved like a superhero while others were still getting warmed up.
As he put it:
Eze is like the superhero of football! He scored a hat-trick so fast, the other high-priced players were still trying to figure out how to tie their shoelaces!
Another user, Toochukwu of Divine Mercy (@_ugomsinachi), took a more emotional angle, reflecting on Eze’s journey and the poetic twist in his story. He reminded fans that Arsenal once rejected Eze as a teenager, and now he has returned as the hero.
His message carried that quiet pride:
The man is living the dream of every academy player. Especially as his case got a twist of rejection by Arsenal, now the once rejected stone is fully becoming the chief corner stone. I am happy for Eze sincerely.
For Simon (@Simontalksftbl), the shock came from a more playful comparison or maybe a taunt at Bukayo Saka. He pointed out something many fans didn’t expect to hear this soon.
He joked;
Eberechi Eze got a hatrick before Saka in an Arsenal shirt.
Meanwhile, David Adeniyi (@DOlaAdeniyi) tried to bring a bit of analysis into the excitement. He framed Eze’s performance as more than a hot streak, painting it as evidence of true elite quality.
He analysed:
Eze isn’t just in form, he’s announcing himself on the biggest stages. A hat-trick in his first North London Derby and 6 goals in his last 4 games against Spurs shows this isn’t luck, it’s a pattern. Big players deliver in big games, and Eze is proving he belongs in that conversation.
Another fan, pearls (@pearls125992), took it a step further, almost sounding like someone documenting the rise of a future icon. She questioned whether Eze was becoming a true tormentor of Tottenham or maybe even a legend in the making.
She analysed:
We need to talk seriously about Eze’s ceiling. Six goals in four games against your biggest rivals isn’t just form it’s the mark of a LEGENDARY bogeyman.
He doesn’t just score; he breaks their mental fortitude. If he keeps this specific clutch gene, is he the most defining Palace player of the modern era? The impact is simply colossal.
And finally, Suraj Balakrishnan (@SurajBala) offered a simpler, more reflective take — one that Tottenham fans probably won’t enjoy:
“Spurs’ loss is Arsenal’s gain. What a classy player. He’ll remember this for a long time.”
In the end, Arsenal’s post didn’t just celebrate a historic moment; it opened the floodgates for fans to express pride, humour, nostalgia, and pure emotion. And if Eze keeps this up, these reactions might just be the first chapter of something even bigger.
