Eberechi Eze equals Henry’s derby record in Arsenal’s big win

Arsenal’s Nigerian-born midfielder Eberechi Eze matched Thierry Henry’s goalscoring record in the North London derby after his two goals on Feb. 22, 2026 helped the Gunners to a 4-1 Premier League victory at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, leveling his personal tally against Spurs with the legendary Frenchman.

Eze struck twice to take his North London derby total to five Premier League goals, equalling Henry and Robin van Persie in the fixture’s history and powering a dominant display as Arsenal bounced back from midweek disappointment. Bukayo Saka’s assist set the tone early, and against the run, Randal Kolo Muani briefly pegged Spurs back before Eze sealed the emphatic win.

“It just worked out today, thanks God,” Eze said after the match, shrugging off whether he has a special affinity for scoring against Tottenham. “I try to score against everyone but it always seems to work against them!”

The victory also extended Arsenal’s lead at the Premier League summit, leaving Spurs under pressure as Eze continues to carve his own chapter in derby folklore
