The North London Derby on February 22, 2026, was steeped in historical tension and contemporary stakes, as Arsenal secured a convincing 4-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur at their stadium.

This clash marked the second 4-1 win for Arsenal over Spurs this season, repeating their earlier Emirates triumph and underscoring the Gunners' recent dominance in the fixture. Historically, Arsenal now hold 91 wins in the derby compared to Tottenham's 67, with the gap widening in the Premier League era.

How Arsenal thrashed Tottenham at the North London Derby Again

Played before 61,439 fans, the match unfolded under the shadow of Arsenal's title race pressures. Coming off two draws that allowed Manchester City to close within two points, Mikel Arteta's side needed a statement. They delivered, with Eberechi Eze, once nearly a Spurs signing last August, haunting his potential former club with a brace. His 32nd-minute volley from Saka's delivery gave Arsenal the lead, only for Randal Kolo Muani to level in the 34th, marking his first Premier League goal since joining Spurs on loan and the first under Tudor's interim tenure following Thomas Frank's sacking.

Post-halftime, Arsenal asserted control. Gyökeres, the Swedish striker, curled in a sublime effort in the 47th, assisted by Timber, before Eze tapped home his second in the 61st after Vicario denied Saka. Gyökeres added gloss in the 90+4th, completing his brace.

Tottenham's struggles were evident: winless in the league since December 2025, they sit four points above the relegation zone. Tudor's debut couldn't inspire a turnaround, as Spurs mustered only six shots against Arsenal's barrage.

For Arsenal, this win not only silenced doubts about their nerve but also highlighted their squad depth, with no major injuries reported. In a rivalry defined by passion, this fact-laden encounter reaffirmed Arsenal's superiority, boosting their quest for a first title in 22 years while plunging Spurs deeper into turmoil.
