Arsenal dominated the north London derby with attacking play from multiple areas of the pitch. While Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard are typically the main threats, it was Eberechi Eze who exploited pockets of space in front of the Tottenham defense, creating opportunities for teammates. Viktor Gyokeres capitalized on this increased space, delivering one of his best performances in an Arsenal shirt with two quality goals against Spurs.
The goals were particularly significant for Gyokeres, who had been under some criticism from Arsenal fans. Scoring twice in the north London derby has likely silenced some doubters and will boost the striker's confidence moving forward.
