Cuti Romero clears path: Man United win, Arsenal extend lead

Matchday 25 of the 2026 Premier League was marked by tension at Old Trafford and decisiveness in London. In the most anticipated clash of the day, Manchester United took full advantage of Cristian "Cuti" Romero's early sending off to defeat Tottenham 2-0 . The Argentine defender received a straight red card 29 minutes into the first half after a harsh tackle, an error that shattered the "Spurs'" strategic plan and cleared the way for Bryan Mbeumo and Bruno Fernandes to seal the victory for the "Red Devils".

Meanwhile, at the Emirates Stadium, Mikel Arteta's Arsenal confirmed their status as absolute leaders with a football exhibition against Sunderland . The "Gunners" won 3-0 in a match they dominated from start to finish thanks to ball possession and suffocating high pressure. Spanish midfielder Martín Zubimendi opened the scoring with a powerful shot from outside the box, while Swedish player Viktor Gyökeres became the star by scoring a double that sealed the rout in the additional time.

The rest of the English matchday left results that shake up the middle and upper zones of the standings. Chelsea returned to victory with a solid 3-1 over Wolves, showing a much more aggressive offensive side. Elsewhere, West Ham comfortably defeated Burnley 2-0, Everton achieved a tight 2-1 win against Fulham , and Bournemouth shared points with Aston Villa after a 1-1 draw in a very even match.

With these results, Arsenal extends their great form and consolidates as the team to beat in the championship, while Tottenham will need to rethink their defensive discipline following the key loss of Romero, which cost them dearly on their visit to Manchester.
