Man City Crush Chelsea to Close Gap on Arsenal as Spurs’ Slide Deepens

Arsenal visit the Etihad next weekend with the gap cut to six.

Overview

  • Manchester City, which won 3-0 at Chelsea on Sunday following Arsenal’s home loss a day earlier, moved within six points with a game in hand.
  • City scored three times in 17 second‑half minutes as Rayan Cherki set up Nico O’Reilly and Marc Guehi before Jeremy Doku finished after taking the ball off Moises Caicedo.
  • Chelsea stayed sixth in the table and sit four points behind fifth‑place Liverpool, weakening their push for next season’s Champions League.
  • Tottenham lost 1-0 at Sunderland in Roberto De Zerbi’s first match as a deflected Nordi Mukiele shot extended Spurs’ league winless run to 14 games.
  • Spurs remain 18th, two points from safety with six to play, and De Zerbi said the squad’s confidence and mentality must change before results will improve.
