Arsenal began the match as the favorites despite dropping points in their last premier league match when they drew 2-2 against Sunderland at the Stadium of Light. Declan Rice went close to scoring in the opening three minutes of the encounter but his efforts was saved.
However, the Gunners eventually took the lead when Spanish midfielder, Mikel Merino found Belgium international Leandro Trossard inside the Spurs box and his deflected shot went in to give Arsenal a 1-0 lead.
Just before half-time, Eberechi Eze made it 2-0 for the Gunners and a minute into the second half the former Crystal Palace midfielder extended the Gunners lead to 3-0 with a beautiful goal. Spurs reduced the deficit in the 55th minute through Brazilian forward, Richarlison but Eze wrapped the game up with his hat-trick in the 76th minute to make it 4-1.
Arsenal maintain their spot on top of the table with 29 points, six points ahead of second placed Chelsea while Tottenham Hotspur are currently placed ninth with 18 points after 12 matches so far this season.
