A typically frantic opening to this weekend’s headline clash - with the Gunners asserting early control - was abruptly halted when play was delayed for nearly five minutes due to a bizarre communication breakdown among the match officials.
Once order was restored, however, Arsenal produced a commanding performance against Igor Tudor’s side, according to Sports Mole, per Sports Mole.
Eberechi Eze and Viktor Gyokeres both scored braces at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, while a brief equaliser from Randal Kolo Muani ultimately had little impact on the final outcome.
The French striker capitalised on a mistake by Declan Rice to level the score momentarily, but Spurs, who were missing 11 first-team players through injury, offered little else.
The victory restored Arsenal’s five-point lead over Manchester City, although the Gunners have played a game more.
It also served as the perfect bounce-back after being held by bottom-placed Wolves the previous week.
