Arsenal reignited their Premier League title chase with a commanding 3-0 victory over Nottingham Forest on Saturday. Meanwhile, Chelsea moved up to third place after defeating Leicester 2-1, showcasing their resilience and form.
Arsenal Back in Form
After failing to win in their previous four Premier League games, Arsenal desperately needed a victory. They started the weekend nine points behind leaders Liverpool, who face Southampton on Sunday. Martin Odegaard’s return from injury bolstered Arsenal’s confidence, as he set up Bukayo Saka to score the opener in the 15th minute.
Saka later assisted Thomas Partey, who delivered a stunning strike to double Arsenal’s lead early in the second half. Seventeen-year-old Ethan Nwaneri sealed the game with his first Premier League goal, finishing Raheem Sterling’s cross with composure.
Chelsea’s Push for the Top
Chelsea edged past Leicester 2-1 to secure third place in the Premier League standings. Nicolas Jackson opened the scoring with his seventh goal of the season. Despite wasting several opportunities to extend their lead, Enzo Fernandez’s header in the 75th minute sealed the win.
Leicester managed a late consolation goal through Jordan Ayew’s penalty, but the Foxes remain perilously close to the relegation zone, just two points clear.
Other Premier League Highlights
Aston Villa extended their winless streak to six games after a dramatic 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace. Ollie Watkins equalized in the first half, and Ross Barkley’s header rescued a point after Villa missed a penalty earlier.

Wolves climbed out of the relegation zone with a stunning 4-1 victory over Fulham, featuring two goals from Matheus Cunha.
