Saka Stars as Arsenal Lead; West Ham Face Relegation Crunch - Premier League

Bukayo Saka delivered a statement performance in his first start since the cup final, helping Arsenal beat Fulham 3-0. Even coming off at half-time, he finished with twice as many chances created as any other player. His cross for Viktor Gyokeres' opener was precise, and his own goal oozed confidence. The win extends Arsenal's lead at the top of the Premier League.

West Ham's defeat at Brentford leaves them with just three games left and in serious relegation trouble. Despite playing well - hitting the woodwork four times and having an equaliser ruled out by VAR - they lost 3-0. The Hammers have earned 22 points from their last 14 games but now sit just two points clear of the relegation zone. Results matter more than performances now.

Anton Stach proved why he's been called one of the signings of the season, creating the most chances and taking the most shots in Leeds' 3-1 win over Burnley. The £18m midfielder has been exceptional, with only Bruno Fernandes creating more chances in the Premier League this season. Meanwhile, Eddie Howe secured a much-needed victory as Newcastle beat Brighton 3-1, with the win coming after challenging discussions with the club's owners about his future following a poor run of nine defeats in 12 games.
