This impressive win propelled them ahead of the defending champions, albeit temporarily.

In a similar fashion, Liverpool also made a significant leap on Sunday, climbing to second place and trailing Arsenal only on goal difference. The Reds secured a crucial 3-1 triumph over Fulham at Craven Cottage, demonstrating their determination to challenge for the league title.

Elsewhere, Brentford, buoyed by their recent victory over Sheffield United, delivered a resounding 5-1 thrashing to Luton in a pivotal encounter at the lower end of the table. Conversely, Sheffield United suffered a dismal 4-1 defeat at home to Burnley, further deepening their relegation woes.

Sunday's fixtures witnessed Everton controversially prevailing 2-0 over Nottingham Forest in a crucial relegation showdown. Additionally, Crystal Palace showcased their dominance with a commanding 5-2 victory over a struggling West Ham side in yet another electrifying London derby at Selhurst Park.

The weekend's results have set the stage for an enthralling climax to the Premier League season, with the title race intensifying and the battle for survival becoming increasingly fierce.
