Eberechi Eze was Arsenal’s hero in the North London Derby, though he wasn’t the only one worthy of the headlines.

For Arsenal fans, the North London Derby had it all, with Mikel Arteta’s side winning 4-1 to send the Gunners six points clear at the top of the Premier League table.

Eze was unplayable against Tottenham, not only for his three goals, but for his all-around performance.

The England international is the talk of the town, but Leandro Trossard’s commitment to the cause mustn’t be overlooked.

Leandro Trossard proved how underrated he is against Tottenham

To some extent, Trossard walked so Eze could run in the derby, taking pressure away from the Gunners to score first by netting the opener.

Invincible Gilberto Silva was mesmerised by Trossard’s performance, as the Belgian caused so many problems on the left side.

It’s not a rarity to see the 30-year-old deliver such levels, as before the international break, Trossard had contributed to three goals in three games.

Despite his past form, what was truly realised in the North London Derby was that the narrative that Trossard is merely a back-up to other options on the left must be abolished.

The 2023 signing ticks every box for Mikel Arteta, being a goal threat, a creative asset and a player willing to contribute defensively.

Against Spurs, Trossard delivered in every area, scoring, assisting, winning four duels and recording five recoveries, as per Sofascore. 

Pundit watch: Trossard is ‘undervalued’  

Trossard deserves to be considered Arsenal’s first-choice on the left right now, and it’s not only fans who think it.

Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live during the North London Derby, pundit Clinton Morrison shared his opinion that Trossard is ‘undervalued’. 

“Leandro Trossard is underrated and undervalued. Arsenal fans appreciate him, and I am not sure whether other fans look at him and think he is a starter,” Morrison said.

“Martinelli and Madueke need to wait for their chance because, for me, if Trossard continues like he is, he will be in the starting XI between now and the end of the season.”

The pundit believes that right now, there’s a queue that needs to be formed behind Trossard to get into Arsenal’s starting XI, which couldn’t be more right after the Belgian’s derby dominance.
