The Premier League title race is heating up as Arsenal continues to push for the top spot. With a convincing 3-0 victory over Bournemouth, Arsenal secured their fourth consecutive win in the league, putting them four points ahead of second-place Manchester City. City, however, has two games in hand, the first of which was against Wolverhampton.
Last season, Arsenal's title hopes faded in the spring as Manchester City clinched the championship with games to spare. This season, the title race is set to go down to the wire, with the final round of games on May 19 likely to determine the winner.
In the recent match, Bukayo Saka scored from the penalty spot in the 45th minute, followed by goals from Leandro Trossard and Declan Rice in the second half, securing Arsenal's victory at Emirates Stadium.
Meanwhile, Burnley's chances of avoiding relegation took a hit with a 4-1 loss to Newcastle. Nottingham Forest's 3-1 win over Sheffield United further complicated Burnley's situation, leaving them five points adrift of safety. Burnley must win their remaining games against Tottenham and Forest to have any hope of staying up.
Luton, currently third from bottom, is also facing the threat of relegation, with the three promoted teams from last season in danger of dropping down to the Championship.
Newcastle's victory over Burnley propelled them into sixth place, surpassing Manchester United in the race for European qualification. With goals from Callum Wilson, Sean Longstaff, Bruno Guimaraes, and Alexander Isak, Newcastle's strong performance has put them in contention for a European spot.
Elsewhere, Sheffield United's relegation was confirmed before their match against Nottingham Forest, who secured a comeback win with goals from Callum Hudson-Odoi and Ryan Yates.
In another match, Brentford and Fulham played out a goalless draw, with both teams sharing the points.
The Premier League action continues with upcoming fixtures, including Tottenham's clash with Liverpool and Manchester United's visit to Crystal Palace.
