Manchester City stun Liverpool, Arsenal dominate again, and the Premier League title race tightens after a dramatic weekend of action.
The Premier League delivered another unforgettable weekend of action as clubs battled on all fronts from the title race to relegation survival. With just over a dozen games left this season, every point matters, and Matchday 25 provided plenty of twists and turns.
At the top of the table, Arsenal continued to enforce their authority with a comfortable victory, while Manchester City kept the pressure on thanks to a dramatic late winner in a classic clash at Anfield. Elsewhere, mid-table battles and a key relegation fight produced meaningful results that could shape the remainder of the campaign.
Sunday’s standout fixture saw Manchester City mount a late comeback to beat Liverpool 2–1 at Anfield. After Liverpool took the lead through a spectacular free-kick, City fought back in the closing stages with Bernardo Silva’s equaliser and a stoppage-time penalty from Erling Haaland sealing the win a result that cuts the gap between City and league leaders Arsenal.
Earlier in the weekend, Arsenal secured a commanding 3–0 win over Sunderland, extending their advantage at the summit and underlining their credentials as the team to beat this season.
