Arsenal, over the past few years in the Premier League, have been the bridesmaids - close enough to touch the trophy, yet always watching someone else lift it.

Arsenal stretched their lead at the top of the Premier League table to six points by thrashing rivals Tottenham Hotspur 4-1 in the north London derby on Sunday at the Emirates Stadium.

Thomas Frank’s North London derby plan appeared to come together only to come apart in a hurry as his Tottenham Hotspur fell 4-1 to Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.

David Raya (6/10):

The former Brentford 'keeper was beaten by a wonderful bit of improvisation from Richarlison. Some of his distribution wasn't the best but, he wasn't tested much.

Jurrien Timber (8/10):

That's a good one. Enjoyable day. Happy to help the team and get the win.

"It's special. It's what I prayed for. I prayed for my hat-trick and I got it.

"All my family are here which makes it more special to do it in front of them."

WHEN it comes to local derbies, they like to talk about ‘bragging rights’.

Yet when you demolish your most bitter rivals with a hat-trick from a bloke you have just hijacked from beneath their noses, to soar six points clear at the Premier League summit, it is far more than that.

Arsenal cruised to a 4-1 victory over Tottenham in the first north London derby of the campaign as Eberechi Eze bagged a sensational hat-trick. Mikel Arteta’s side had far too much for the Lilywhites as they killed the match off as a contest by half-time.
