Arsenal Restore Five-Point Gap With Chelsea Win as Corner Mastery Ties Record

Manchester City's game in hand keeps the title race within reach.

Overview

  • William Saliba and Jurrien Timber scored from corners in a 2-1 victory, taking Arsenal to 16 league goals from corners this season to equal the Premier League single‑campaign record.
  • Manchester City had closed the gap by beating Leeds 1-0 on Saturday, with Antoine Semenyo scoring, before Arsenal responded to re-open their cushion.
  • Chelsea finished with 10 men after Pedro Neto’s dismissal, their seventh league red card of the season, leaving them three points off fifth and denting their Champions League hopes.
  • Manchester United came from behind to defeat Crystal Palace 2-1, rising to third as Benjamin Sesko made it seven goals in his last eight appearances and Michael Carrick extended his unbeaten run to six wins in seven.
  • Tottenham’s slump deepened with a 2-1 loss at Fulham, stretching their winless league run to 10 matches and keeping them just four points above the relegation zone.
