The Premier League title race took a dramatic twist last night as all of the traditional ‘Big Six’ dropped points, handing Arsenal a major advantage at the top of the table. In an extraordinary round of fixtures, none of the league’s heavyweights managed to secure a win, underlining the unpredictability of the season as it enters a crucial phase.
Manchester City were held to a 1-1 draw by Brighton, despite Erling Haaland converting from the penalty spot, while Manchester United were forced to settle for a 2-2 draw in another frustrating outing. Tottenham Hotspur suffered a damaging 3-2 defeat, exposing defensive frailties, as Chelsea’s struggles continued with a 2-1 loss, further denting their hopes of climbing the table.
With their rivals stumbling simultaneously, Arsenal emerged as the biggest winners without kicking a ball. Mikel Arteta’s side now hold a commanding psychological edge in the title race, and if the Gunners maintain their consistency, this round of fixtures could prove to be a defining moment in their pursuit of Premier League glory.
