After a men’s international break that delivered some wonderfully joyful moments, the Eberechi Eze hat-trick for Arsenal, in his first North London derby, was up there.

Musa and Ryan chat about Eze’s historic feat, during his childhood club’s 4-1 win over Spurs at the Emirates Stadium, which sent the Gunners six points clear.

They then move on to the rest of the Premier League (22:54), including Chelsea moving up to second, Newcastle’s win over Manchester City and—while there’s a lot of chat about the Liverpool side of it—Nottingham Forest winning back to back games at Anfield for the first time in 62 years (29:02).

Elsewhere, Milan won the Derby della Madonnina to go second behind Roma (41:17), Barcelona were back at Camp Nou and closed the gap after Real Madrid dropped more points (46:56) and there’s some chat about the Bundesliga and more (50:27).
