British-Nigerian forward Eberechi Eze has revealed the powerful role of faith in his stunning performance during Arsenal’s emphatic 4–1 demolition of Tottenham in the North London Derby.
The in-form attacker was unquestionably the star of the show, tearing Spurs apart with flair, confidence, and ruthless finishing — and he says it was no coincidence.

Eze, who netted a memorable hat-trick in the fiery clash, said he had prayed before the match for the opportunity to make a defining impact. “I prayed to score a hat-trick — and it happened,” he said with emotion after the game. “It means even more because my family was watching in the stands.”
It was one of the most complete derby displays by an Arsenal attacker in recent years. From the first whistle, Eze played with a level of freedom and certainty that made him nearly unplayable. His movement ripped Tottenham’s backline apart, his dribbling created panic among defenders, and his finishing was clinical.
The Emirates erupted each time the forward struck the net, and by the time he completed his hat-trick, even neutral fans conceded they were witnessing a performance of rare brilliance.
Eze’s showing also came at a crucial moment in Arsenal’s season. With title ambitions in full swing, the victory served as a statement that Mikel Arteta’s side remains an elite force capable of destroying top-level opposition. And for Eze personally, it was a reminder that he is rapidly becoming one of the Premier League’s most electrifying stars.
Yet beyond the goals and praise, the 26-year-old stressed the emotional weight of the moment. Having his family in attendance, he said, made the achievement even more special. “To score three in a derby with my loved ones watching — it’s something I’ll never forget,” he said.
The win pushes Arsenal further up the table and injects new momentum as the season intensifies — but this derby will be remembered for one thing above all:
Eberechi Eze’s unforgettable, faith-fuelled masterpiece.
