Top of the day : Arsenal
League leaders Arsenal continue their march toward the title. The Gunners struggled for a long time against a compact Everton FC defensive block before finally breaking through in the closing minutes to secure a 2–0 victory.
The turning point of the match came with the introduction of teenage prodigy Max Dowman. At just 16 years old, he helped create the opening goal by delivering the decisive cross for Viktor Gyökeres in the 89th minute, before scoring the second himself in stoppage time after a spectacular run starting from his own half.The victory allows Mikel Arteta’s men to capitalize on the slip-ups of their direct rivals and extend their lead at the top of the Premier League, sending a clear message in the title race.
Manchester City lost points again
Meanwhile, Manchester City dropped two valuable points away at West Ham United FC (1–1).
The Citizens had taken the lead through Bernardo Silva, but the Hammers responded quickly when Konstantinos Mavropanos scored from a corner. Despite territorial dominance and several clear chances, Pep Guardiola’s side never managed to regain the advantage.
The draw plays directly into Arsenal’s hands. City now see the gap with the league leaders widen as the season enters its final stretch. With a packed schedule that includes European fixtures, the result feels like a real setback in the title race.
Chelsea lost in the maze
For Chelsea, the crisis continues. The Blues suffered a 1–0 home defeat against Newcastle United FC in a frustrating match that perfectly illustrated their current struggles.
The goal from Anthony Gordon, scored after a defensive mistake early in the game, proved enough for the Magpies. From that point on, Chelsea dominated possession but lacked creativity and efficiency in the final third. Several chances were wasted, and even a late free kick from Reece James struck the post.
This defeat — Newcastle’s first win at Stamford Bridge since 2012 — deepens the malaise surrounding the Blues. Between the massive spending since the arrival of Todd Boehly and inconsistent results, the London club still appears to be searching for a clear identity.
