Imagine scoring a hat-trick in your first North London derby and becoming a club legend in the process. That's exactly what Ebere Eze did, cementing his status as Arsenal's November Player of the Month. But here's where it gets even more impressive: Eze didn't just win one award—he swept both the Player of the Month and the Emirates Goal of the Month honors, a feat that's as rare as it is remarkable. His stunning performance against Tottenham Hotspur, where he netted three goals in a 4-1 victory, not only secured his place in Arsenal's history books but also sparked debates among fans: Is Eze the most impactful signing of the season? And this is the part most people miss: His inch-perfect assist to Gabriel Martinelli against Bayern Munich showcased his versatility as a playmaker, proving he’s not just a goal-scorer but a game-changer. With 35% of the votes, Eze outshone contenders like Declan Rice, Leandro Trossard, and Jurrien Timber, making it back-to-back awards after his October Goal of the Month win against Crystal Palace. Starting all four Premier League games in November, Eze’s consistency and flair were undeniable. But what’s truly groundbreaking is his achievement as the first-ever player to score a hat-trick in a North London derby in the Premier League—a record that had stood untouched for 47 years. He joins the ranks of Arsenal legends Ted Drake and Alan Sunderland as only the third Gunner to achieve a derby treble. Controversial question: Does Eze’s performance this season already qualify him as one of Arsenal’s all-time greats? Let us know your thoughts in the comments! Press play on the video above to relive Eze’s most memorable moments from November and see why he’s the talk of the town. Copyright 2025 The Arsenal Football Club Limited.
