Liverpool will have to wait a bit longer to confirm their Premier League title triumph after Sunday’s results left the title race hanging.
Despite Liverpool doing their part with a hard-fought 1-0 victory away to Leicester City, Arsenal’s convincing win over Ipswich Town ensured the championship celebrations are on hold—at least until the Gunners’ midweek clash with Crystal Palace.
In their away trip to the King Power Stadium, Liverpool battled a determined Leicester side fighting for survival. Both teams struck the woodwork in a tense first half, but it was Trent Alexander-Arnold who made the difference. His late goal came after Leicester failed to clear a corner, sealing all three points for Liverpool and pushing the Foxes closer to relegation.
With this result, Liverpool remains at the top of the table, but Arsenal’s 4-0 demolition of Ipswich Town postponed any title confirmation. Despite fatigue from their midweek Champions League exploits against Real Madrid, Arsenal looked dominant. Leandro Trossard bagged a brace, Gabriel Martinelli added another, and a red card to Ipswich’s Leif Davis made matters worse before Ethan Nwaneri added a late fourth.
Meanwhile, Chelsea kept their Champions League hopes alive with a late comeback against Fulham. Alex Iwobi had given Fulham a first-half lead, but Chelsea responded through Tyrique George’s first Premier League goal and Pedro Neto’s 93rd-minute winner.
Aston Villa also made a strong statement in the top-four race, thrashing Newcastle United 4-1 at Villa Park. Goals from Watkins, Maatsen, Onana, and a Dan Burn own goal highlighted Villa’s intent.
Elsewhere, Manchester City overcame a sluggish performance to edge Everton 2-0, while Wolves ensured Premier League survival with a gritty 1-0 win at Manchester United, courtesy of Pablo Sarabia.
Brentford outgunned Brighton 4-2, with Bryan Mbeumo scoring twice. Crystal Palace and Bournemouth played out a goalless draw, and West Ham were held 1-1 by Southampton after a stoppage-time equalizer.
For now, Liverpool fans will have to stay patient. The club remains within touching distance of the Premier League crown, but must wait to see how Arsenal fare next. Regardless, the momentum clearly remains with Liverpool, who continue to prove their title credentials week after week.
