Arsenal haven’t lost against Tottenham in the Premier League since May 2022, and Viktor Gyokeres has been very busy in that time.
Arsenal beat Tottenham 4-1 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to put their rivals’ start to life under Igor Tudor in misery.
It was a memorable day for Eberechi Eze, and also for Viktor Gyokeres, who had his best game for Arsenal against Spurs.
Gyokeres scored twice to take his Premier League goal tally to double figures, and when looking at what the striker has done since Arsenal last lost a North London Derby, the results are quite staggering.
AGREE or DISAGREE: That was Viktor Gyokeres’ best performance in an Arsenal shirt so far…
Viktor Gyokeres has scored 134 domestic goals since Arsenal last lost to Tottenham
You’d have to rewind to May 12th 2022, to revisit the last time that Spurs beat Arsenal.
Life was very different for Gyokeres back then, as he was playing for Coventry City in the Championship.
A lot has changed for the Swede, most notably in the goals department, as, quite spectacularly, Gyokeres has scored 134 domestic goals since Arsenal’s last defeat to Spurs.

Viktor Gyokeres has scored 134 goals since Arsenal last lost to Tottenham, will he end his Arsenal career with that many?
Marksman!
It emphasises how dominant Arsenal have been over their rivals in recent years, and how much of a prolific goalscorer Gyokeres has been for the clubs he’s represented in that period: Coventry, Sporting CP and Arsenal.
Gyokeres was modest about his performance against Tottenham
For all of the criticism that Gyokeres gets, he’s enjoying his football at present, contributing to 10 goals in his last 12 appearances for the Gunners in all competitions.
It was another two goals for the summer signing, but after the resounding win over Tottenham, he showed his humility.
If you could send one message to Tottenham fans after Arsenal’s 4-1 North London Derby win, what would it be?
When asked if his performance at Spurs was his best in an Arsenal shirt, Gyokeres downplayed how good he was when speaking to Sky Sports.
“Yeah, in some aspects I think it was a good one, and in some other I think I could’ve done a few bits better,” he admitted.
“But yeah, it was a tough game, but I think we showed much better things on the pitch today.”
