What a Sunday, eh? If you were anywhere near a television or a radio, you'd know the Premier League delivered its usual dose of chaos and brilliance yesterday. We had four matches, and every single one had something to chew on, from the top of the table to the very bottom. It was a day that tightened the screws on the title race, gave some teams a much-needed breath of fresh air in the survival scrap, and, well, Liverpool did what Liverpool does. Let's break it down.

Manchester City vs. Arsenal: The Title Race Heats Up

The big one, obviously, was Manchester City taking on Arsenal. City walked away with a 2-1 victory, meaning the gap at the top is now a mere three points, and City still have a game in hand. That's a significant shift, and it puts immense pressure on Mikel Arteta's side.

The game itself was a proper ding-dong. Rayan Cherki, who seems to be everywhere these days, opened the scoring for City with a neat finish after some fancy footwork. But Arsenal, to their credit, hit back almost immediately. It was a bit of a gift, really, with Gianluigi Donnarumma hesitating on a clearance and smashing it straight into Kai Havertz. You can't make this stuff up.

The second half was end-to-end, a proper spectacle. Erling Haaland hit a post for City, Eberechi Eze did the same for Arsenal. Donnarumma then pulled off a vital save from Havertz, making up for his earlier blunder. But Haaland, as he often does, found his moment, tucking one home in the 65th minute for the winner. Arsenal pushed hard for an equaliser, with Gabriel having a header deflected onto the post and Havertz heading over with the goal gaping in injury time.

It was Bernardo Silva's effort that really stuck with me. The man, who has announced he's leaving at the end of the season, covered 50 yards to get back and break up an Arsenal attack as the last man. Pep Guardiola's bearhug at full-time said it all. With Burnley coming up in that game in hand, City look poised to overtake Arsenal. The Premier League Sunday action truly delivered here.

Nottingham Forest vs. Burnley: A Hat-Trick for Survival

Down at the other end of the table, Nottingham Forest secured a massive 4-1 win against Burnley, largely thanks to Morgan Gibbs-White's first senior hat-trick. This performance could very well define the seasons of both clubs.

Remember last July when Spurs thought they had him for a £60 million release clause? Forest threatened legal action, the move collapsed, and Gibbs-White signed a new three-year deal. Now, he has 15 goals in all competitions for Vitor Pereira's side. His treble yesterday lifts Forest five points clear of the relegation zone with just five games left. If West Ham beat Crystal Palace today, Tottenham will find themselves four points from safety in 18th.

It’s also worth noting that this is the first time Gibbs-White has scored more than once in a game since 2022. It puts him level with Brighton's Danny Welbeck on 12 Premier League goals, making them the joint highest by an Englishman this season. Thomas Tuchel left him out of the last England squad, which, after a display like that, seems like a decision he might want to revisit. Danny Murphy on Match of the Day called it "a double kick in the stomach for Spurs," and it’s hard to disagree. This Premier League Sunday certainly had its share of dramatic moments.

Aston Villa vs. Sunderland: Seven Goals and Pure Madness

Aston Villa's 4-3 victory over Sunderland was a rollercoaster. For about 86 minutes, Unai Emery probably thought he was having a comfortable afternoon. Then everything went mad. Then it was comfortable again. Just barely.

Ollie Watkins put Villa ahead early, only for teenager Chris Rigg to curl in a lovely equaliser. Watkins then grabbed his second, and set up Morgan Rogers for what looked like a comfortable 3-1 lead early in the second half.

But then Jadon Sancho had an absolute nightmare of an 86th minute. He gave the ball away to Trai Hume, who curled it in from a tight angle. Less than a minute later, Sancho lost possession again, and Wilson Isidor was through to finish low. Suddenly, it was 3-3, and Villa Park was in shock.

Sunderland almost won it too. Habib Diarra got through one-on-one with Emiliano Martinez, tried to lob him, and found the keeper instead, with Chemsdine Talbi standing next to him for an open goal if he'd passed. Thirty-six seconds later, at the other end, Lucas Digne whipped in a low cross, and substitute Tammy Abraham shinned it home in the 93rd minute. Pure, unadulterated Premier League Sunday drama.

Villa stay fourth and are now ten points clear of sixth-placed Chelsea with five games to play. Six more points should seal Champions League qualification. Watkins, with two goals and an assist, is up to 16 for the season. Only Harry Kane has more among Englishmen in Europe's top five leagues. Tuchel left him out in March too, which, given his form, is another decision that raises an eyebrow.

Everton vs. Liverpool: A Familiar Story

Finally, the Merseyside derby. The first Premier League Merseyside derby at Hill Dickinson Stadium went exactly how these things usually go: Liverpool won, 2-1. It wasn't the most thrilling game of the day, but for Liverpool fans, it was business as usual. The Reds continue their push, and Everton will be left to rue what might have been.
