Arsenal surged four points clear at the summit of the Premier League table following a commanding 3-0 victory over Bournemouth, courtesy of standout performances from Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard on Saturday.
The Gunners’ dominance in their fourth consecutive win ensured that Manchester City, trailing in second place, cannot overtake them even with a victory over Wolves in the late Saturday fixture.
Saka’s first-half penalty broke the deadlock for Mikel Arteta’s side at the Emirates Stadium, setting the tone for the match. Trossard and Declan Rice added to the tally in the closing stages, securing a crucial three points for the title contenders. As they pursue their first league title since 2004, Arsenal eagerly anticipate a potential stumble from Manchester City against Wolves, knowing they are in the driving seat.
With two games in hand over Arsenal, Pep Guardiola’s squad remains formidable competition, eyeing a historic fourth consecutive English title with four matches left. Arsenal’s 26th Premier League triumph this season equals the club’s record for the highest number of victories in a single campaign. The Gunners, mindful of their collapse last season, have shown resilience, winning 14 out of 16 league games in 2024 to stay firmly in contention.
Arteta’s side faces a crucial showdown against Manchester United next weekend before a potentially title-clinching home fixture against Everton on May 19.
