As a result, the Premier League standings were thrown into disarray overnight. Let’s review: Arsenal stays solid at number one, while Chelsea and Liverpool both surpassed Manchester United to break into the top four!

Leeds United faced Arsenal. Although Arsenal lead the table, their advantage had shrunk after three winless rounds recently. Still top of the league, Arsenal met newly promoted Leeds United this round and played with a rare fluidity. Fully focused, they dominated Leeds from start to finish, scoring twice within 11 minutes in the first half and adding two more goals 17 minutes into the second half. They crushed their opponents 4-0 with overwhelming superiority, securing an easy and commanding victory to halt the slide and maintain their top spot!

Chelsea played West Ham. Chelsea have been consistent in the league, recently securing four straight wins and under pressure to fight for a top-five finish. Facing relegation-threatened West Ham, who are struggling near the bottom, both sides aimed for a win. In the first half, Chelsea performed poorly with little attacking threat, especially Ganacho’s performance was disappointing. In contrast, West Ham launched fierce counterattacks, creating several chances and quickly scoring twice to take the lead. In the second half, Chelsea made a substitution, bringing on Pedro for Ganacho, which immediately revitalized their attack. Pedro soon scored, boosting Chelsea’s momentum. Cucurella then added another goal to equalize. In stoppage time, Pedro provided a brilliant assist for Enzo to score the winning goal. Late in the game, West Ham received a red card for violent conduct, completing a dramatic 3-2 comeback. It was a thrilling, intense match full of tension!

Liverpool took on Newcastle. Liverpool had been winless for several rounds and felt strong pressure to secure a top-five spot. Facing wealthy Newcastle, Liverpool conceded first in the opening half but remained calm and quickly ramped up their attack. Ekytike scored twice, leading the comeback charge. Wirtz grew into the game, contributing both a goal and an assist to extend the lead. Konate added a goal in stoppage time to cap off the 4-1 victory. Ultimately, Liverpool celebrated a big win!
