Chelsea made a stunning comeback in the Premier League with a 4-0 victory against Southampton at Stamford Bridge. After three consecutive defeats, the Blues showcased their resilience with first-half goals from Christopher Nkunku, Pedro Neto, and Levi Colwill, securing their third league win in 11 games. This win propels Chelsea two points above Manchester City into the coveted fourth spot, keeping their hopes alive for a Champions League spot in the 2025-26 season. 🏆⚽
On the flip side, Aston Villa's dreams of European glory took a hit after a 4-1 loss to Crystal Palace. Despite a promising start with Ismaila Sarr's opener, Villa couldn't maintain their momentum, allowing Crystal Palace to reclaim the lead and ultimately win the match. Manager Unai Emery's side has struggled recently, winning just one of their last seven league games.
Meanwhile, Brighton edged out Bournemouth with a 2-1 victory, keeping their European aspirations alive, while Wolves missed an opportunity to climb further from the relegation zone after a narrow defeat to Fulham. The Premier League race continues to heat up as teams jostle for positions and strive for their seasonal goals.
