A pulse-pounding Sunday of Premier League action saw Arsenal maintain their grip on the summit with a draw at Stamford Bridge, while Ruben Amorim’s Manchester United and Arne Slot’s Liverpool secured morale-boosting victories on the road.
In the day’s marquee matchup, Arsenal missed a chance to fully capitalize on their numerical advantage but left West London five points clear at the top of the table.
The turning point arrived in the 38th minute when Chelsea midfielder Moises Caicedo was shown a straight red card for a dangerous challenge on Mikel Merino.
Despite the disadvantage, Chelsea struck first. Trevoh Chalobah rose highest to head home a corner just after the break (47'), sending the home fans into raptures.
Arsenal responded quickly, with Merino redeeming his earlier knock by nodding in the equalizer from a Bukayo Saka cross in the 58th minute.
The draw leaves Arsenal on 30 points, five clear of Manchester City, while Chelsea sit 3rd on 24 points.
Crystal Palace 1 - 2 Manchester United
Ruben Amorim claimed a vital away win, United’s first at Selhurst Park since 2020, thanks to a spirited second-half turnaround.
Palace took the lead through a retaken Jean-Philippe Mateta penalty, but United looked a different beast after the interval.
Joshua Zirkzee leveled the scoring with a poacher's finish, before Mason Mount completed the comeback with a sweetly struck free kick.
West Ham United 0 - 2 Liverpool
Pressure eased significantly on Liverpool manager Arne Slot as the Reds secured a comfortable 2-0 victory over a lackluster West Ham.
The headline story was Alexander Isak, who finally opened his Premier League account for Liverpool in the 60th minute, sliding home a pass from Cody Gakpo.
Gakpo himself sealed the points deep in stoppage time (90+3'), ensuring Liverpool climbed to 8th in the table.
Brighton & Villa March On
-
Nottingham Forest 0 - 2 Brighton: The Seagulls soared into 5th place with a clinical away performance. Maxim De Cuyper opened the scoring just before halftime, and young Greek striker Stefanos Tzimas put the game to bed in the 88th minute. Forest dominated possession but lacked cutting edge.
-
Aston Villa 1 - 0 Wolves: Unai Emery’s side moved into the top four thanks to a stunning strike from Boubacar Kamara. The result heaps more misery on Wolves, who remain winless and rooted to the bottom of the table with just 2 points.
