Arsenal took a new step towards their great goal of the season: winning the Premier League. After a football recital and goals in the first half, they went over Fulham (0-3) to maintain one more day the distance of five points with Manchester City, their main pursuer. Pep Guardiola’s men had placed on Saturday two points behind the Gunners after beating Crystal Palace 1-0 with a goal from Haaland, putting all the pressure on the leader, who responded 24 hours later with a very solvent match. The team coached by Mikel Arteta gave no option to suspense and killed the game in the first half, with goals from the Brazilians Gabriel and Martinelli and the third from the Norwegian Martin Odegaard. Despite the fact that there were no goals in the second half, the Gunners maintained their display of play and created numerous chances to have increased the differences, although it is also true that he had a dose of fortune when Alexandar Mitrovic crashed a header into the crossbar that could have meant the reaction of the local team. In another of the matches of the do Sunday, Manchester United, very irregular all season, returned to offer a very poor image, without going beyond the goalless draw at Old Trafford against bottom club Southampton. The match was marked by the expulsion of the Brazilian Casemiro shortly after half an hour of play for a hard tackle on the Argentine Carlos Alcaraz.
