Arsenal revives title hopes, beats Liverpool

Arsenal reignited their quest for a first Premier League title in two decades by securing a pivotal 3-1 victory over league leaders Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium. Simultaneously, Chelsea suffered another humiliating defeat, succumbing 4-2 at home to Wolves on Sunday.

Liverpool's aspirations of sending off manager Jurgen Klopp as an English champion were dealt a blow as Arsenal closed the gap to just two points at the top of the table. Mikel Arteta acknowledged the significance of avoiding a repeat of their previous 2-0 FA Cup loss to Liverpool to keep their title hopes alive.

In the opening stages, reminiscent of the cup tie, Arsenal dominated and were rewarded with the opening goal when Bukayo Saka slotted home after Alisson Becker denied Kai Havertz. Despite Liverpool not registering a shot on target in the first half, a defensive mix-up allowed them to level as Gabriel Magalhaes turned Luis Diaz's cross into his own net.

The momentum shifted in the second half when Alisson collided with Virgil van Dijk, gifting Gabriel Martinelli an easy goal. Liverpool, missing Mohamed Salah, faced further challenges as Ibrahima Konate received a second yellow card, leaving them with a numerical disadvantage. Leandro Trossard capitalized on the opportunity, extending Arsenal's lead.

Mauricio Pochettino apologized to Chelsea fans after Wolves secured a historic 4-2 victory at Stamford Bridge. Matheus Cunha's hat-trick propelled Wolves to their first win at Chelsea since 1979. Chelsea, coming off a 4-1 defeat to Liverpool, endured a dismal week as Wolves completed the double over them.

Despite Cole Palmer initially putting Chelsea ahead, Cunha's shot deflected off Thiago Silva, leading to a quick equalizer. The atmosphere at Stamford Bridge soured further with an own goal from Axel Disasi and additional strikes from Pedro Neto and Cunha. Pochettino expressed frustration and acknowledged the team's struggle to match the club's historical standards.

Manchester United climbed to sixth with a 3-0 win over West Ham, featuring goals from Rasmus Hojlund and Alejandro Garnacho. Hojlund, celebrating his 21st birthday, showcased his potential with a powerful strike. Garnacho's deflected effort and a late goal from an Argentine talent completed the scoring. While United enjoyed the victory, they suffered a setback with Lisandro Martinez sustaining a serious-looking knee injury.

Nottingham Forest secured a 1-1 draw against Bournemouth, moving two points above the relegation zone. As Arsenal, Liverpool, and Chelsea experience highs and lows, the Premier League title race remains intense, with defending champions Manchester City lurking just five points off the top and holding two games in hand.
