Last weekend’s Premier League fixtures saw Manchester City take a huge leap towards the top of the table with a resounding victory over Arsenal. Meanwhile, Chelsea suffered another defeat, this time to Brentford.
In a highly anticipated match-up, Arsenal traveled to the Etihad Stadium to take on Manchester City. However, it didn’t take long for the home team to gain control of the game. Raheem Sterling opened the scoring in the 11th minute, and it was all downhill for Arsenal from there. City’s attacking prowess proved too much for Arsenal to handle, and they ultimately conceded five goals to suffer their worst defeat of the season.
Meanwhile, Chelsea’s struggles continued as they were defeated 2-0 by Brentford. The Blues entered the game hoping to bounce back from a disappointing loss to Manchester City, but Brentford had other plans. The home team took the lead through Ivan Toney’s 10th-minute goal and never looked back. Christian Norgaard doubled their advantage in the 64th minute to seal a famous victory for Brentford.
The results of these matches have significant implications for the Premier League title race. With their win over Arsenal, Manchester City now lead the table with 20 points. Meanwhile, Chelsea’s defeat to Brentford sees them slip to fifth place with 13 points. It remains to be seen if either team can sustain their current form and emerge as champions at the end of the season.
