Eberechi Eze also scored two as Mikel Arteta’s team secured a vital 4-1 win against their bitter rivals, getting their Premier League title charge back on track.

Neville has now been discussing the striker’s performance after the North London derby win, and he has been full of praise for him.

Gary Neville would “hate to play against” Viktor Gyokeres at Arsenal

Gary Neville claims that Viktor Gyokeres has shown that he can be such a handful for certain teams following his display against Spurs.

During the game, Neville awarded Gyokeres Man of the Match, and said it was his best performance in an Arsenal shirt so far.

Speaking about the striker after the match, he told The Gary Neville Podcast: “I think what Gyokeres did today was so important.

“I like him as a centre forward in the sense that I like a centre forward who’s imperfect, who’s a bit rugged, who’s a bit of a handful. I’d hate to play against him. Sticks his body and sticks his backside in.”

The 27-year-old will now need to build on his impressive performance with big question marks remaining over him at the Emirates Stadium.

However, his performance was just a reminder of why Andrea Berta was so keen to pay £63 million to bring him to N5 in the first place.

Gary Neville tells Arsenal that “Man City will drop points”

In the race for the title, Neville has told Arsenal to be ready because he is backing Manchester City to drop points.

Neville added: “City will drop points. They’re not quite right themselves. You asked me about the game last night against Newcastle. They weren’t hanging on in there at the end, but it was a little bit close for comfort for them.

“They’re not quite as dominant as they were. They’re not as dominant as they were. They’re not as controlling as they were. They’re not as exceptional as they were, but they’re still very, very dangerous.”
