👀 Man United thump Leicester; Arsenal beat Chelsea; Fulham win
Leicester and Man United faced off at the King Power after two Premier League London derbies on Sunday afternoon, as Arsenal hosted Chelsea and Fulham took on Tottenham.
Here's the action as it happened.
United triple stuns Foxes
Scorers: Højlund 28', Garnacho 67', Fernandes 90'
Man United heightened Leicester's relegation fears with a 2-0 Premier League victory at the King Power Stadium.
Early opportunities came at both ends in the first five minutes when Rasmus Højlund fired wide before Jamie Vardy's rising strike forced André Onana into action.
United grew into the match and started to threaten, with Christian Eriksen's curling strike beating Mads Hermansen and thumping the post.
The Red Devils kept generating chances and Højlund opened the scoring, controlling Bruno Fernandes' pass, racing into the area and lashing into the bottom corner.
After a positive first half, United were dealt a blow in the second period as Ayden Heaven was stretchered off on his full Premier League debut.
Alejandro Garnacho then thought he'd doubled United's lead after finishing a rapid counter-attack, but the effort was ruled out for offside.
Garnacho wasn't denied with his next attempt, as the Argentinian fired low past Hermansen to celebrate his first goal since Ruben Amorim's debut game in November 2024.
Fernandes sealed United's victory with a late third when the midfielder drilled in from 20 yards for his seventh goal in as many matches.
Leicester offered little in response and have now lost seven consecutive home league games without scoring, while United remain unbeaten in their last four Premier League matches.
From Earlier
Merino magic the difference
Scorers: Merino 20'
Mikel Merino's first-half header helped Arsenal to edge fellow top-four hopefuls Chelsea to a 1-0 victory at the Emirates.
Arsenal made a bright start with two big chances, as Leandro Trossard poked wide before Declan Rice fired over the crossbar after Chelsea failed to clear a loose ball inside the area.
The Gunners remained on top and took the lead on 20 minutes when Mikel Merino stooped to meet Martin Ødegaard's corner at the near post and headered past Robert Sánchez.
Chelsea almost had another setback when Wesley Fofana caught Rice with a heavy tackle, but the defender was spared a red card following a swift VAR check.
Although Arsenal had near-complete control in the first half, Marc Cucurella almost pulled the visitors level with a fierce volley that David Raya parried past the post.
Few chances came early in the second period until Merino's goal-bound volley from Trossard's cross was kept out by Sánchez.
Chelsea offered little in their push for a late equaliser and Cucurella's tame header did little to test Raya as the Gunners held on to end their three-match winless run in the Premier League.
Cottagers leave it late
Scorers: Muniz 78', Sessegnon 88'
Two late Fulham goals led the Cottagers to a 2-0 victory over Tottenham.
Fulham and Tottenham made a cagey start and Andreas Pereira's ambitious attempt from a tight angle was the closest either team came in the opening quarter.
Neither side could gain control of the contest, but Fulham ended the first half with better momentum after Timothy Castagne forced Guglielmo Vicario into a reaction save from close range.
Ange Postecoglou introduced Lucas Bergvall after half time and the Spurs midfielder almost made an immediate impact with a floated cross to Dominic Solanke, who headered wide from 10 yards out.
The visitors kept the pressure on and Mathys Tel's curling strike was heading towards the bottom corner until Bernd Leno produced a full-stretch save to keep the score level.
However, it was Fulham who went ahead with just 15 minutes left when Pereira's pass into the area found Rodrigo Muniz and the Brazilian poked his fifth goal of the season as a substitute low past Vicario.
The Cottagers then sealed the points with a second after Ryan Sessegnon turned Ben Davies and curled an unstoppable strike into the top corner, taking Marco Silva's side within five points of the top four.
Coming Up
