**Tottenham's Woes Continue as Eberechi Eze Leads Arsenal to Thrilling North London Derby Win**
In a thrilling encounter, Arsenal's Eberechi Eze once again proved to be the bane of Tottenham's existence, scoring two goals in a 4-1 win that has reignited the Gunners' title ambitions in the Premier League. The victory saw Arsenal move five points clear at the top of the table, leaving their North London rivals to ponder another disappointing defeat.
Eze, who had a close call with joining Tottenham in the summer, has now netted five goals against his former suitors this season, with three of those coming in his previous meeting against Spurs. It's a record that has left many wondering if the England midfielder has an extra motivation against their fiercest rivals. For Eze, it's simply a case of trying to score every game, with Tottenham seeming to be his lucky charm.
Arsenal's win marked a welcome rebound after two straight draws that had given Manchester City a lifeline in the title race. While City still has a game in hand and a crucial encounter with Arsenal in mid-April, the Gunners remain firmly in control of their destiny. With 10 league games remaining, Arsenal is well-positioned to claim a first top-flight title since 2004.
For new Tottenham manager Igor Tudor, Sunday's result was a harsh introduction to life in North London. Tudor had previously enjoyed successful early spells at his previous clubs, but this time, Spurs' struggles continued. Despite equalizing twice, the visitors ultimately succumbed to a convincing defeat that has left many questions about their title aspirations.
In other Premier League action, Liverpool snatched a narrow 1-0 win over Nottingham Forest, thanks to Alexis Mac Allister's stoppage-time strike. Meanwhile, Crystal Palace secured a vital 1-0 win over Wolverhampton, with Evann Guessand scoring a last-minute winner, and Fulham climbed into the top half of the table after a 3-1 victory over Sunderland.
