Cunha’s Late Strike Sinks Arsenal As Manchester United Claim Dramatic 3-2 Win At Emirates

Wale busari03 mins

Matheus Cunha struck late in the 87th minute to hand Manchester United a dramatic 3-2 win over Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium, a result that could have major implications for this season’s Premier League title race. Despite remaining top of the table, Arsenal’s advantage has now been cut to four points, with Manchester City and Aston Villa firmly in pursuit and 15 matches still to play. For United, the victory marked a third consecutive positive result under interim boss Michael Carrick, lifting them into fourth place. The decisive moment arrived moments after Mikel Merino had brought Arsenal back on level terms. Earlier in the second half, Patrick Dorgu had restored United’s lead to make it 2-1 following a tightly contested first half that ended 1-1. Arsenal had gone in front when Lisandro Martinez inadvertently turned the ball into his own net, but United responded before the break as Bryan Mbeumo capitalised on a poor backpass from Martin Zubimendi to draw the visitors level. Only a fortnight ago, United were struggling for form, but the appointment of Carrick until the end of the season has sparked a revival. Back-to-back wins against Manchester City and Arsenal across consecutive weekends have transformed their outlook. The resurgence follows the dismissal of Ruben Amorim, whose 14-month spell yielded just 15 wins from 47 league matches. Darren Fletcher’s brief interim run produced draws against Leeds United and Burnley before an FA Cup exit to Brighton, but Carrick’s early impact suggests United may finally be turning a corner.

Amine Adli Strikes In Stoppage Time As Bournemouth Shock Liverpool 3-2

Wale busari03 mins

Liverpool suffered a dramatic 3-2 defeat to Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium on matchday 23 of the Premier League, with the hosts snatching victory in stoppage time. Arne Slot’s side dominated the early stages, but Bournemouth threatened on quick transitions. In the 26th minute, Alex Scott capitalized on a misclearance by Virgil van Dijk, sending in a cross that Evanilson slotted home to give the home team the lead. Bournemouth doubled their advantage in the 33rd minute when James Hill set up Alejandro Jiménez, who broke free and fired a right-footed shot past Alisson Becker to make it 2-0. Liverpool pulled one back before halftime as Van Dijk redeemed himself, powering a header from a corner to reduce the deficit to 2-1 and reignite the Reds’ hopes. The second half saw Liverpool push for an equalizer, with Dominik Szoboszlai producing a stunning free-kick to level the score at 2-2, marking his third set-piece goal of the season. Bournemouth remained dangerous, with Ryan Christie testing Alisson on two occasions—once with a thunderous shot and later setting up Evanilson in a one-on-one, only for the Liverpool goalkeeper to deny both chances. Liverpool also threatened in the closing stages through Florian Wirtz, but Đorđe Petrović made a crucial save to keep the score level. However, the match was sealed in the 95th minute. Following a throw-in that functioned like a corner, defensive lapses allowed Amine Adli to finish calmly inside the box, securing a 3-2 victory for Bournemouth and leaving Liverpool stunned. The final whistle confirmed a heartbreaking night for the Reds, as Bournemouth celebrated a late and unforgettable triumph.

Antoine Semenyo Scores First Premier League Goal As Manchester City Beat Wolves 2-0

Wale busari02 mins

Antoine Semenyo scored his first Premier League goal for Manchester City as they secured their first league victory of 2026 with a 2-0 win over Wolves. Following a challenging week that saw consecutive defeats to Manchester United and Bodo/Glimt, City closed the gap to league leaders Arsenal to just four points. City, who started the match with Erling Haaland and Phil Foden on the bench, went ahead in the sixth minute when Omar Marmoush stretched to redirect Matheus Nunes’ cross into the net. Marmoush came close to doubling the lead just after the half-hour mark, cutting inside from the left but striking the right post. Wolves appealed for a handball against Yerson Mosquera immediately after, but a VAR review upheld the referee’s decision to let play continue, ruling that Mosquera’s arm was in a natural position. Semenyo sealed the win in first-half stoppage time, curling a low shot from the edge of the box past José Sá to make it 2-0. Wolves improved after the break but failed to test Gianluigi Donnarumma, with Mosquera’s looping header striking the crossbar. Semenyo also came close to another goal at the other end, but neither side added to the score as City claimed a morale-boosting victory.

Manchester United Start Carrick Era With 2-0 Manchester Derby Win Over City

Wale busari03 mins

Manchester United kicked off the Michael Carrick era in style, showing renewed confidence and a performance that had fans smiling from start to finish. The Reds defeated cross-town rivals Manchester City 2-0 at Old Trafford on Saturday, delivering a statement win to start the Premier League weekend. Carrick set his team up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Bryan Mbeumo leading the attack, Bruno Fernandes in his preferred No. 10 role, and Amad and Patrick Dorgu operating on the wings. Casemiro and Kobbie Mainoo anchored the midfield, while Luke Shaw, Diogo Dalot, Lisandro Martinez, and Harry Maguire formed the backline in front of goalkeeper Senne Lammens. City dominated possession for much of the game but struggled to create clear-cut chances, registering just one shot on target in the first half. United, by contrast, looked sharp on the counter, twice seeing goals ruled out by tight offside calls. The second half belonged to United. The Reds grew increasingly confident going forward, creating six meaningful chances and converting two of them. The breakthrough came from Mbeumo, who finished a textbook counterattack after Bruno fed him a perfectly timed pass into space, slotting past Gianluigi Donnarumma for 1-0. United kept the pressure on, and Carrick’s decision to bring on Matheus Cunha paid off. The substitute made an immediate impact, driving into the right channel and delivering a pinpoint cross for Dorgu to double the lead. A late goal from Mason Mount was disallowed for a tight offside, but it did little to dampen the celebrations. The result delivered a morale-boosting derby win and a refreshing display of attacking intent. United now turn their attention to a challenging trip to league leaders Arsenal next weekend.

Arsenal Miss Chance To Extend Premier League Lead After Goalless Draw With Liverpool

Wale busari02 mins

Arsenal were held to a 0-0 draw by Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium on Thursday, missing the opportunity to stretch their Premier League lead to eight points. Liverpool, who have struggled for consistency this season, produced a composed performance that ended Arsenal’s five-match winning streak. The closest either side came to breaking the deadlock was when Liverpool right-back Conor Bradley cleverly chipped Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya following a mix-up with center back William Saliba, only for the ball to bounce off the crossbar. Arsenal managed just four shots on target and looked unusually disjointed, leaving home fans frustrated. Despite the setback, the Gunners still head the table, maintaining a six-point advantage over second-place Manchester City and third-place Aston Villa with 17 games remaining. Both City and Villa drew on Wednesday against Brighton and Crystal Palace, respectively, keeping Arsenal strong favorites for their first league title since 2004. Liverpool remain in fourth place, extending their unbeaten league run to 10 games. The defending champions looked more solid at the back but lacked firepower up front, missing injured strikers Alexander Isak and Hugo Ekitike, while Mohamed Salah is away with Egypt at the Africa Cup of Nations. Adding to their concerns, Bradley had to be carried off on a stretcher in stoppage time with a suspected ankle injury, casting a shadow over Liverpool’s performance.

Chelsea Snatch 1-1 Draw At Manchester City As Fernandez Scores In Stoppage Time

Wale busari03 mins

Managerless Chelsea stole a dramatic point at Manchester City as Enzo Fernandez struck in stoppage time at the Etihad Stadium. Fernandez emerged as the hero for a Chelsea side still reeling from Enzo Maresca’s shock departure, securing a 1-1 draw just three days after the managerial change. With Liam Rosenior reportedly in pole position to take over, Calum McFarlane stepped in to guide the team for the trip to City, who were looking to cut the gap on Premier League leaders Arsenal. Instead, Pep Guardiola’s side remain six points behind the Gunners after Fernandez bundled in the equaliser in the 94th minute. City had taken the lead in the 42nd minute when Tijjani Reijnders unleashed a thunderous left-footed strike, punishing Chelsea’s defence. Erling Haaland had earlier struck the post, and although City created several promising chances after halftime, they were unable to turn their dominance into a winning goal. Chelsea capitalised on a weakened City backline, disrupted by Josko Gvardiol’s injury. Malo Gusto’s cross caused confusion in the home defence, and Fernandez was perfectly positioned to finish on his second attempt, sending the away supporters into celebration. Fernandez’s performance underlined his growing importance. The Argentine has now scored six league goals this season, matching his tally from last term. While Cole Palmer struggled against his former club—registering just one shot and failing to create a chance—Fernandez excelled, taking three shots (trailing only Haaland’s five) and leading Chelsea in touches in the opposition box (four) and chances created (two). Statistically, Chelsea edged City in quality of chances. The visitors generated 1.73 expected goals from eight attempts, compared to City’s 0.99 xG from 14 shots, reflecting the higher danger level of Chelsea’s opportunities despite being under pressure for long periods.
