Arsenal Dominates Chelsea (3-1) in Mid-Week EPL Clash to Retake the Table & Set Up Wild Final Month

With one month left in the Premier League season, the race for the title is still up for grabs. One match after surrendering the top of the table to Manchester City, Arsenal fired back with a 3-1 win over Chelsea. Yesterday afternoon’s match at Emirates Stadium featured three Arsenal goals in 15 minutes of the first half. Martin Ødegaard scored twice before Gabriel Jesus added the third. The win put the Gunners back above City by two points with four matches to play, but City still have six matches remaining. And as we near the end of the EPL stretch run, Newcastle and Man. United appear to have a firm grip on the top-4 (top-4 join next year’s Champions League).
