Leandro Trossard scored in the 36th minute, and Eze's hat-trick was the first of his professional career. Richarlison's goal for Tottenham in the 55th minute was not enough to console the team, who struggled to find their footing in the game.

Arteta has been impressed with Eze's dedication to improving his skills since joining the team from Crystal Palace in August. Eze had made a slow start to his Arsenal career, but his recent commitment to training and his desire to improve have caught Arteta's attention.

"I'm so happy for him," Arteta said. "It is a day he deserves. At any minute, he can win us a game." Arteta also praised Eze's ability to score goals from anywhere on the field, saying he has "such a capacity to take these chances."

Eze had turned down Tottenham's interest in favor of joining Arsenal, and his performance in the game underlined what his former team had missed out on.

Arteta also reflected on the team's overall performance, saying they were "exceptional from minute one" and "super dominant." He praised the team's application, energy, and desire to win, saying it was the biggest attribute for the team.

The win was a memorable one for Arsenal, and Arteta said it was a day to remember. He also acknowledged that a 4-1 win over a rival is not always a guarantee, but his team's performance was a testament to their hard work and dedication.
