Chelsea ended a six-match winless streak with a 3-1 victory away to Bournemouth on Saturday thanks to late goals from Benoit Badiashile and Joao Felix. The Blues moved three points above their hosts and are now mathematically safe from relegation for the first time this season. One of five changes Frank Lampard made to the starting XI that was dismantled by Arsenal on Tuesday gave Chelsea the lead very much against the run of play. Conor Gallagher burst into Bournemouth's box, nodding Noni Madueke's cross beyond Neto's reach after nine minutes. Chelsea's Travel ling support sarcastically bellowed: "We scored a goal!" in celebration of the third the Blues have registered since March. Midway through the first half, Bournemouth fans could deliver the same creative chant. Lampard lamented that the quick turnaround from Chelsea's limp loss to Arsenal ensured that there was "not the chance to deal with the more fundamental issues". That was painfully e...

Newcastle edged closer to Champions League qualification for the first time in 20 years with a crushing 4-1 win over Everton at Goodison Park on Thursday night. Equally, the result – as well as the impact on goal differences – puts the Toffees in even more relegation danger. Callum Wilson scored twice on the night in a strong all-round performance, with Joelinton and Jacob Murphy also getting in on the act. Everton did pull it back to 3-1 through Dwight McNeil at one stage, but fans made their feelings known by almost totally clearing the stadium before the final whistle. The Toffees made a really bright start and were pressing high from the opening minutes to cause Newcastle real problems. Winning it back in the opposition half presented the first opportunity when Idrissa Gueye put one straight at Nick Pope. Amadou Onana was particularly impressing in midfielder to prevent Newcastle gaining a foothold, while Dwight McNeil from distance was the second Everton player to test Pope – agai...

Manchester City took a huge step towards a third consecutive Premier League with a 4-1 win over Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday night. The Gunners still lead the table, but the gap is now just two points and City will surge ahead if they win their two games in hand. Two excellent goals from Kevin De Bruyne either side of a John Stones header in first half stoppage-time made it comfortable for City in their 12th straight league win over Arsenal. Rob Holding did score a thumping consolation but it mattered little, as Erling Haaland made it four in stoppage time. It was a slightly nervous start from Arsenal, not helped when a poor Aaron Ramsdale parry into the danger area saw Thomas Partey tangle legs with De Bruyne – to the relief of those in red, referee Michael Oliver adjudged De Bruyne to have kicked the Arsenal man and not the other way around. But City showed just how clinical they can be not long afterwards when a long pass from back to front beat the Arsenal press. Haa...
