‘When a player has such a talent, these things happen’
Frank ‘disappointed’ by Spurs’ performance in 4-1 loss
Mikel Arteta credited Eberechi Eze for adding an “aura” to the Arsenal team after he scored the first hat-trick of his career to haunt Tottenham and send Arsenal six points clear at the top of the Premier League.
Eze was close to joining Spurs from Crystal Palace in the summer before they were gazumped by their north London rivals and the England international made them pay after Leandro Trossard had opened the scoring.
A mesmerising dribble and finish made it 2-0 at half-time before Eze doubled his tally 36 seconds after the restart. He rounded off the scoring following Richarlison’s fine consolation strike for a Tottenham side that showed little ambition throughout and recorded 0.07 expected goals.
