Tottenham Hotspur fans, though, will be happy not to come up against the Arsenal forward again until next season. Eze has scored 40 Premier League goals in his six league seasons, with 19 coming from the 30th game onwards. Basically, the England international has a record of netting goals late in the campaign, when it matters most. And after his brace in Arsenal's latest thumping of their rivals, only Robert Pires (seven) and Emmanuel Adebayor (six) have more Premier League goals for the Gunners against Tottenham than Eze's five. He is also the first Arsenal player to score five or more goals against an opponent in the same top-flight season since Adebayor against Derby in 2007-08 (six).
