Tottenham suffered a bruising 4-1 defeat away to Arsenal, producing one of their worst displays of the season as Eberechi Eze hit a hat-trick, Spurs generated an expected goals figure of just 0.07 and rarely threatened their fiercest rivals. Thomas Frank admitted the performance was the complete opposite of his intentions, apologised to supporters, criticised Spurs for losing too many duels and failing to escape Arsenal’s press, and warned their recurring lack of creativity, also seen against Chelsea, must be fixed quickly.

Spurs created pressure from wide areas—Wilson Odobert and Destiny Udogie key—while Senne Lammens kept United afloat with sharp saves. Spurs failed to kill the game after going ahead; United’s set-piece persistence earned parity in a frenetic finish that halted Spurs’ dominance.
