It was a good weekend for Arsenal in the Premier League title race as their advantage at the summit extended to three points.
The Gunners won 1-0 at Fulham with another solid defensive showing and that proved a vital three points as Liverpool were beaten by Manchester United at Anfield 24 hours later. It meant the Reds dropped four points behind Mikel Arteta’s side.
They sit three points clear at the top, with Manchester City moving into second after their victory over Everton. Elsewhere, Chelsea boosted their Champions League hopes with a win over Nottingham Forest that led to the sacking of ex-Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou.
Crystal Palace played out a dramatic 3-3 draw with Bournemouth at Selhurst Park while Tottenham lost 2-1 at home to Aston Villa on Sunday despite taking an early lead. On Monday night, West Ham United’s woes continued as they lost 2-0 at home to Brentford.
