Manchester City kept their Premier League title hopes alive with a dominant 3-0 victory over Crystal Palace on Sunday, cutting the gap to leaders Arsenal to just two points as the race at the top intensified.
Pep Guardiola’s side showed composure and clinical finishing at Selhurst Park, with Erling Haaland scoring twice and Phil Foden adding another to cap an impressive away performance. City absorbed early pressure before Haaland broke the deadlock just before half-time with a well-placed header.
Crystal Palace threatened again after the break but were punished for missed chances. Foden doubled City’s advantage with a precise finish, before Haaland converted a late penalty to seal the result and underline City’s growing momentum.
Meanwhile, Aston Villa continued their impressive run with a thrilling 3-2 comeback win over West Ham United, further tightening the title race. Villa fell behind twice but showed remarkable resilience, with Morgan Rogers producing a standout performance, scoring twice — including a stunning long-range winner — to secure all three points.
The victory leaves Unai Emery’s Aston Villa just three points behind Arsenal, extending their strong sequence of results and cementing their status as genuine contenders this season.
With Manchester City closing in on the leaders and Aston Villa maintaining their surge, the Premier League title battle is shaping up to be one of the most competitive in recent years.
