Sensational Arsenal have officially secured their seat at the head of the table for Christmas Day!
In a high-stakes Saturday that saw records tumble and tempers flare, the Gunners showed the grit of champions to edge past Everton and stay two points clear of a relentless Manchester City.
It wasn’t the prettiest performance, but Mikel Arteta won’t care. Viktor Gyökeres proved to be the difference-maker at Goodison Park, slamming home a first-half penalty after a reckless challenge in the box. While Everton pushed for a late equalizer, Arsenal’s backline stood tall, ensuring the North London giants go into the festive break as the team to beat.
City & Liverpool Keep Up the Heat –
The celebration in London was mirrored by a historic night in Manchester. Erling Haaland continued his path to legendary status, netting twice in a 3-0 demolition of West Ham. His second goal officially saw him surpass Cristiano Ronaldo’s Premier League goal tally—a feat achieved in record-breaking time.
Meanwhile, in North London, chaos reigned as Liverpool escaped with a 2-1 win over a disciplined but undisciplined Tottenham. Spurs finished the match with just nine men after two red cards, allowing Alexander Isak and Hugo Ekitike to capitalize on the man advantage.
