Arsenal ran out clear winners in the North London Derby to restore their lead at the top of the Premier League
Arsenal playmaker Eberechi Eze was involved in an awkward moment with Sky Sports interviewer Patrick Davison after the Gunners thrashed Tottenham in the Premier League. Mikel Arteta's side ran out 4-1 winners thanks to a brace from the England international and another from Viktor Gyokeres.
It marked Arsenal's biggest win at Tottenham since 1978 and ensured they moved five points clear of Manchester City in second place who had closed the gap with a win over Newcastle United on Saturday. Eze opened the scoring just after the half hour mark, but their lead would last just two minutes with Randal Kolo Muani equalising for Spurs.
After a cagey first half, Arsenal turned the screw in the second 45 and ran out comfortable winners with Eze and Gyokeres among the standout performers.

Sky Sports interviewer Davison suggested that Eze’s finishes were "simple," with the Arsenal man taken aback by his line of questioning. The Arsenal man said: "They're not simple!
"But I'm always trying to get in those positions to find the space, to work hard and get those opportunities. It takes a long way to go there.
“Today it's worked out, thank God for it. We put in a good performance, we did what we needed to do today which was the main thing.
“We know what we're capable of. We know what we can do. We have to play games to dominate and win, we have the players in the team to do it. An important win and performance."
Eze was linked with a move to Spurs in the summer, but opted for a move to the Emirates Stadium and has impressed in both outings against the Gunners' north London rivals this season.
When asekd if Spurs fans were giving him grief, Eze said: "Quite a lot! That's football, it's understandable. You just keep doing what you're doing."
The brace at Spurs meant Eze has scored five goals against Arsenal's arch-rivals this season, after a hattrick in the 4-1 win on home soil.
When asked why he always seems to score against Tottenham, Eze said: "I don't know. I try to score every single game. It seems to work quite a lot against Tottenham. It's a feeling you get."
He also paid tribute to Arsenal striker Gyokeres who enjoyed his best performance in a Gunners shirt since his move to the club from Sporting in the summer.
"Vik was doing it all game, you can see his work ethic," Eze said. "He helps the team not just with his goals but the effort he puts in.
"It gets players like me in the best positions and it helps a lot. He's got his two goals today which he deserves."
