Arsenal saw off a commanding 4-1 victory in the North London Derby against Spurs on Sunday at the Emirates Stadium.
The match ball was taken by Eberechi Eze as he scored his first hat-trick for the Gunners.
Ironically, Eze’s hat-trick came against the club who were following him till the very end of the 2025 summer transfer window before he finally decided to put pen to paper for his boyhood club.
Prior to the kick-off, the Emirates saw a huge tifo being rolled out in the North Bank stand which consisted of several players who have donned the red jersey over the years.
Sol Campbell was right in the middle of the tifo with Thierry Henry, Tony Adams, Gabriel, Bukayo Saka, and Martin Odegaard as Arsenal fans made fun of Spurs fans for their former captain.
In 2001, Campbell had left Spurs and joined Arsenal on a free transfer, making it one of the most controversial transfers in Premier League history.
The centre-back was the captain of Tottenham, and the move made Spurs fans angry.
Interestingly, this started a debate whether the tifo was fan made or club made. Here is the truth below:
Eighteen86 (@eighteen86), in collaboration with Dan Evans (@danxdraws), came together to create this fan made tifo.
Eighteen86 are a North London based company that make unofficial Arsenal merchandises. They provide as a creative outlet for Arsenal fans, frequently integrating the club’s culture, history, and current events into their merchandises.
They are also heavily involved in making tifos, as can be seen above.
The company is handled by individuals, including co-founders Ed and Max, who share their memories of early Arsenal collections as well as their love for the club.
On the other hand, Dan Evans is a highly recognized illustrator and designer based in North London who is also an Arsenal fan too.
His illustrations frequently begin with hand drawing to maintain a raw, spontaneous look before being finished with digital colour.
Football is a common theme for him, as he conveys the iconic gestures and cultural identity of the game, generating drawings that feel very pleasing to the eye.
These are some of his works:
He is the illustrator who designed the art of the tifo with Eighteen86, ensuring a careful layout design which was later rolled over in the North Bank stand prior to kick-off of the North London Derby.

This collaboration between Dan Evans and Eighteen86 is a powerful example of how creative fan groups and artists contribute significantly to the atmosphere and cultural identity of the club.
