Arsenal news

Jamie Carragher has compared Viktor Gyokeres to Alan Shearer in a remarkable U-turn from his previous comments about the Arsenal striker. The Sky Sports pundit had previously hit out at the Sweden international, claiming he isn't as good as some of Mikel Arteta's other options, but Gyokeres' brace in the north London derby on Sunday appears to have changed the former Liverpool defender's mind.

Matheus Cunha has highlighted Michael Carrick's role in Manchester United's win at Arsenal last month and claimed he 'will never forget' how his side brushed off conceding twice to become the first team this season to beat the Gunners at the Emirates Stadium. The Brazilian scored the decisive goal in the 3-2 win by curling into the top corner in the 87th minute.

Arsenal striker Viktor Gyokeres says the team feel more united following a heated meeting ahead of the north London derby win over Tottenham. The players held a discussion after throwing away a two-goal lead to draw with bottom side Wolves and responded by thrashing Spurs 4-1. The victory means Mikel Arteta's side are now five points clear at the top of the table, although second-placed Manchester City do have a game in hand.

Manchester City may be forced to make do without a key player for April's potential Premier League title decider against Arsenal. Pep Guardiola's side sit five points behind the Gunners in the table but do have a game in hand on Mikel Arteta's side. The two teams are also scheduled to meet again in the top flight at the Etihad in April in a game that could well decide which team are crowned champions.

Arsenal's 4-1 hammering of Tottenham in the Premier League on Sunday was marred by two lengthy delays due to communication problems between the match officials. The delays at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium brought plenty of criticism in a game which saw Arsenal return to winning ways with a comfortable win that restores their five-point lead at the top of the table over Manchester City.

The suspicion was that the Premier League title race was about to take a very dramatic turn after Manchester City drew to within two points of an increasingly nervy Arsenal on Saturday. However, the Gunners responded in the best possible fashion by routing north London rivals Tottenham the following day to keep their bid for a first championship success since 2004 very much on track.

Jamie Redknapp has launched a scathing attack on his former club Tottenham, branding them a "horrendous" outfit that has undergone a "personality bypass" following their humiliating 4-1 home defeat at the hands of Arsenal. The north London derby was less of a contest and more of a coronation for the Gunners, as Eberechi Eze and Viktor Gyokeres both bagged braces to leave Spurs languishing just four points above the Premier League trapdoor.

Gabriel Magalhães couldn't resist mocking Tottenham on social media after Arsenal's dominant 4-1 north London derby victory on Sunday evening. A brace each from Eberechi Eze and Viktor Gyokeres gave the Gunners all three points, with Randal Kolo Muani's first-half goal proving to be nothing more than a consolation as Igor Tudor's first game as Spurs interim boss ended in humiliation.

Tottenham Hotspur interim manager Igor Tudor insists he is "very angry" after their 4-1 derby defeat at home to Arsenal, as he called on his players to "look in the mirror". The north London club are now just four points clear of the relegation zone, after also losing the reverse fixture 4-1.

Eberechi Eze has amazingly equalled the records of former Arsenal strikers Thierry Henry and Robin van Persie in the north London derby after scoring a brace against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday. The England international scored a hat-trick in the reverse fixture earlier this season, and now has five goals from two matches played against Spurs in a Gunners shirt.

Eberechi Eze and Viktor Gyokeres both scored twice as Arsenal crushed Tottenham 4-1 in the north London derby for the second time this season to restore their five-point lead at the top of the Premier League. The Gunners, who came into Sunday's game under huge pressure following their midweek capitulation at Wolves, made a mockery of those questioning their stomach for a title race as they ran riot at the home of their neighbours, who remain firmly in the relegation mire.

Dele Alli has teased an imminent return to professional football after his emotional homecoming at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday. The Spurs cult hero was the club's half-time Guest of Honour for the north London derby against Arsenal, and the former England star revealed he could be back on the pitch very soon.
