their title credentials with a ruthless display away from home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite Tottenham taking the lead early through <strong>Randal Kolo Muani in the 34th minute<\/strong>, Arsenal responded like champions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Gunners equalised before half-time and then completely took over, scoring three more goals to seal a famous derby victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Eberechi Eze and Viktor Gy\u00f6keres Steal the Show<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The night belonged to <strong>Eberechi Eze and Viktor Gy\u00f6keres<\/strong>, who both scored brilliant

outplayed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After taking the lead, they struggled to contain Arsenal\u2019s attacking quality and were punished repeatedly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Defensive errors and lack of control cost them dearly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion: Arsenal Send Powerful Title Warning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This was more than just a derby win \u2014 it was a <strong>title
