Arsenal forward Eze delivered a historic performance in the North London Derby, becoming the first player ever to score a Premier League hat-trick in the fixture, according to an announcement shared by football journalist Fabrizio Romano on social media. The Gunners’ attacker produced a sensational display, inspiring his side to a memorable victory in one of English football’s fiercest rivalries.
The emotional scenes that followed were a reflection of how much the achievement meant to the player, who placed his hand on his chest while celebrating in front of the Arsenal supporters. Speaking after the match, Eze described the moment as a fulfilment of his personal ambition and faith.
“It’s special. That’s what I prayed for, a hat-trick and I got it. I’m grateful to God. God gave it to me, it’s fate.”
Eze also addressed past speculation linking him with rivals Tottenham Hotspur, adding humor to the post-match conversation. “I had to join Tottenham? Let’s not talk about that.”
The performance has sparked excitement across the fanbase, with supporters praising his determination and rapid rise. One widely shared comment highlighted an old social-media message from Eze in 2025, reading: “I swear imma make it”, reflecting a journey from aspiration to achievement. Another fan wrote under the post: “One day he will play for a big club and can officially say he made it.”
