In the Premier League, Manchester City kept their title hopes alive with a 3-0 victory over Brentford, closing the gap to Arsenal to just two points. City’s Jeremy Doku opened the scoring, followed by a backheeled goal from Erling Haaland, who also assisted Omar Marmoush for the third goal. With three matches remaining, City must hope Arsenal falters in their upcoming games. Meanwhile, Liverpool's aspirations for Champions League qualification were hindered after a disappointing 1-1 draw with Chelsea, where Ryan Gravenberch's early goal was canceled out by Enzo Fernandez's free-kick. Liverpool now leads Bournemouth by only four points for the final Champions League spot. In other matches, Bournemouth secured a 1-0 win against Fulham, and Brighton climbed to seventh place with a 3-0 victory over Wolves, positioning themselves for potential European qualification.
