Manchester City restored momentum with a 3‑0 victory at Chelsea on Sunday, seizing three points while Arsenal stumbled 2‑1 to Bournemouth. Pep Guardiola’s side dominated the second half, scoring through Rayan Cherki, Marc Guehi and a late strike, despite a quiet Haaland. The win lifts City to six points behind Arsenal, with a direct clash looming next weekend and re‑ignite their title charge.

In Serie A, Inter overturned a 2‑0 deficit against newly promoted Como to win 4‑3 in what many called the weekend’s thriller. Cristian Chivu’s men equalised through Marcus Thuram before he netted again, and Denzel Dumfries added two dead‑ball goals. The comeback narrows Inter’s lead to nine points with six games remaining, keeping the title race alive and prove their depth.

Elsewhere, Barcelona edged Espanyol in the Catalan derby while Real Madrid settled for a draw at Girona, and Tottenham slipped into the relegation zone after a loss to Sunderland. Liverpool’s recent big win and Bayern’s Bundesliga scoring record add further intrigue, but City’s clean‑sheet win and Inter’s resilience dominate the weekend narrative. Both clubs now control their own destinies as the season reaches its climax.
