Eberechi Eze scored a hat-trick in his first senior North London derby for Arsenal, driving the team to a resounding 4-1 victory over Sp*rs.
He spoke to Sky Sports afterwards, and said he’d prayed that he would make such an impact in such a big game.
Asked if he had a feeling about how this fixture might turn out, he said “That was my prayer today. That was my prayer today, a hat-trick, and God gave it to me.
“So, again, that’s faith, man.”
And on the performance overall, he said, “I’m happy to help the team and to win today, it’s special
“All my family’s here, man, again, so it makes it even more special today in front of them.”
Then, the interviewer asked him about the possibility that he might have ended up on the wrong side of North London, he shot that down, saying, “Let’s not talk about that!”
He let it all work out, and today it really, really did.
