Manchester City defeated Chelsea 3-0 in the Premier League, cutting Arsenal's lead to six points. The victory was a significant statement from the team, following Arsenal's 2-1 defeat at home by Bournemouth. Despite Roberto de Zerbi's first game in charge of Tottenham Hotspur, the team's relegation fears worsened as a 1-0 loss away to Sunderland left them mired in the relegation zone with six games left to play. Nottingham Forest earned an important point in their battle to stay out of the drop zone, while Crystal Palace beat Newcastle United. Meanwhile, Chelsea's hopes of qualifying for the Champions League are fading.
