In a decisive match held on February 23, Arsenal delivered a strong performance, defeating Tottenham Hotspur 4-1. Eberechi Eze and Viktor Gyokeres each contributed two goals, showcasing their attacking prowess. Eze’s impressive performance is particularly noteworthy as it maintains his remarkable streak against Tottenham, having previously scored a hat-trick against them at the Emirates Stadium last November. This win has strengthened Arsenal’s position in the Premier League, restoring their five-point lead over Manchester City.

Eze’s decision to remain with Arsenal instead of moving to Tottenham has proven beneficial for the team. His two goals during this match, along with Gyokeres’s impactful finishing, exemplified Arsenal’s offensive capabilities and their determination to secure the Premier League title. Currently, Arsenal has played one more match than Manchester City, and both teams have four additional matches lined up before they face each other again at the Etihad Stadium on April 18.

Notably, Eze has made his mark in the Premier League, having scored five goals against Tottenham in merely two encounters, placing him among the top scorers for Arsenal alongside notable players like Emmanuel Adebayor, who scored six, and Robert Pires with seven. Remarkably, Eze is now on par with legendary Arsenal strikers Thierry Henry and Robin van Persie in terms of scoring against Tottenham.

Liverpool Edges Past Nottingham Forest in Stoppage Time

In another significant fixture, Liverpool claimed a narrow victory against Nottingham Forest at the City Ground. The match lacked excitement for most of its duration, as both teams struggled to mount significant threats. However, Alexis Mac Allister became the hero for Liverpool, finally breaking the deadlock deep into stoppage time. After an uneventful 90 minutes marked by a lack of shots on target from both sides, the drama unfolded when Mac Allister’s initial effort was disallowed due to a handball. He quickly recovered to score the rebound in the 97th minute, clinching a 1-0 win for Liverpool.

This victory adds important points for Liverpool, while Nottingham Forest will have to regroup after the last-minute defeat. Both teams aim to regroup as they look ahead to their upcoming matches in the Premier League. The contrasting fortunes of Arsenal and Liverpool reflect the competitive nature of the league as the season progresses.
