Facing a Tottenham side in freefall, Eze and Gyokeres took turns unleashing four goals, inflicting a crushing defeat on their London rivals at home.

Some fans were concerned when Declan Rice made a mistake in the first half leading to a goal, but instead of retreating into a defensive posture like in the Wolves match, Arsenal went all out to tear apart the Spurs defense.

This helped The Gunners restore their five-point lead in the standings before matchday 28. Although that gap has just been reduced to two points due to Man City's victory over Leeds, Mikel Arteta's team still holds the upper hand in the title race.

In fact, since their unexpected defeat to Manchester United earlier this year, Arsenal have gradually rebuilt their Emirates Stadium fortress – winning four consecutive matches at their home ground and keeping three clean sheets in their most recent games.

In terms of current form in the Premier League, Chelsea are the slightly better team, but some issues are starting to emerge in the project of young manager Rosenior.

After being held to a 2-2 draw by Leeds, the Blues suffered another blow last weekend when they dropped points against relegation-threatened Burnley.
