Premier League results: Arsenal, Chelsea secure important wins
After Manchester United’s 2-0 win over Tottenham at Old Trafford earlier in the day, five Premier League matches unfolded at 3pm on Saturday, reports BritPanorama.
Arsenal travelled to Sunderland hoping to extend their lead over Manchester City, who are set to face Liverpool on Sunday. The Gunners managed a convincing 3-0 victory, with Martin Zubimendi scoring the opener followed by two goals from Viktor Gyokeres after he replaced Gabriel Jesus. This win puts Arsenal nine points clear of City at the top of the table.
Aston Villa sought to bounce back from a surprising home defeat to Brentford, facing Bournemouth but ended the clash with a disappointing 1-1 draw. Morgan Rogers initially gave Villa the lead, but Rayan equalised for Bournemouth, leaving Villa’s Champions League aspirations in jeopardy.
In another match, Chelsea continued their impressive form under new management with a 3-1 victory at Wolves. Cole Palmer’s first-half hat-trick proved decisive, with Tolu Arokodare’s 54th-minute goal for Wolves providing little more than a consolation.
Burnley faced West Ham in a crucial relegation battle, suffering a 2-0 defeat that deepens their struggles this season. Goals from Crysencio Summerville and Valentin Castellanos brought West Ham within three points of safety after Nottingham Forest’s loss to Leeds.
Meanwhile, Everton secured a vital 2-1 win against Fulham at Craven Cottage. Fulham had taken the lead through an own goal from Vitalii Mykolenko, but Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall equalised before another own goal from Bernd Leno sealed victory for the Toffees.
As teams jockey for position in the league, the dynamics of this season continue to shift, showcasing how even the tightest contests can unfold unexpectedly. The Premier League remains as unpredictable as ever, a vivid reminder of its relentless nature.
