Arsenal’s Eze sinks Spurs again, Liverpool late show floors Forest

Eberechi Eze reprised his role as Tottenham’s tormentor-in-chief, striking twice to power Arsenal to a resounding 4-1 derby victory on Sunday and restore the Gunners’ five-point cushion at the Premier League summit. The result keeps Mikel Arteta’s side firmly in control of the title race heading into the season’s final stretch.

Eze’s double maintained his personal dominance of Spurs, who had no answer to his pace and precision in front of a raucous Emirates crowd. The win lifts Arsenal back above any lingering challengers and reasserts their authority after a brief wobble in recent weeks.

At Anfield, Liverpool required a moment of last-gasp inspiration to keep pace. Alexis Mac Allister rifled home in the 97th minute to break Nottingham Forest’s resistance, sealing a dramatic win that preserves the Reds’ momentum in the hunt for top-four places. The late strike sparked wild celebrations and underlined the club’s reputation for late drama.

The twin results leave the summit and the European qualification battle finely poised, with Arsenal setting the pace and Liverpool clinging to the hope of overhauling those above them.
