Nigeria, Nov. 24 -- Arsenal moved six points clear at the top of the Premier League on Sunday after a commanding 4-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur in the north London derby.

It was one of their strongest displays of the season, driven by Eberechi Eze's first senior hat-trick for the club.

Arsenal controlled the match from the start and broke through in the 36th minute when Leandro Trossard finished calmly after a smart pass from Mikel Merino.

The Gunners doubled their lead just before half-time, with Eze beating two defenders on the edge of the box before firing past goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario.

Tottenham manager Thomas Frank abandoned his defensive setup at half-time, bringing on Xavi Simons to add some spark.

But Arsenal struck again...
