Eberechi Eze delivered one of the defining moments of Arsenal’s season when he fired a stunning hat-trick in the 4–1 win over Tottenham.

Eze became the first Arsenal player in 47 years to score a hat-trick in the derby. Before the match, he had scored only twice in 15 appearances. His move to Arsenal stung Tottenham, who were close to signing him before Mikel Arteta intervened.

Eze’s performance did more than secure three points—it jolted Arsenal’s season forward and showcased why Arteta trusted him with such a significant role.

Arsenal’s £60m Investment Looks Inspired

Arsenal paid £60m to sign Eze from Crystal Palace, a fee that was met with mixed reactions at the time. Now, Scholes insists the price could soon look like a bargain. Eze’s ability to glide past markers, dictate tempo, and deliver decisive moments fits perfectly into Arsenal’s high-tempo attacking structure.

Arteta now has an extra creator who can operate between the lines, dominate transitions, and stretch defenses—key qualities Arsenal lacked in tight matches last season.

The derby win boosted Arsenal’s position in the Premier League title race.
Eze gives Arteta another match-winner in a squad already rich with talent. A hat-trick in a heated derby provides long-lasting confidence—and fans have already embraced him as a new hero.

According to Scholes, consistency is the only barrier between Eze and a £100m valuation. If he keeps producing big-game moments and maintains his current trajectory, Arsenal may have secured one of the Premier League’s next elite stars for a relative bargain.
