An early goal scored by Bukayo Saka in the match between Brighton and Arsenal was enough for the "Gunners" to take three very important points on the road to the championship title, where their only rival remains Manchester City.
The team led by Mikel Arteta opened the match in the ninth minute and then fanatically maintained the lead, ultimately securing maximum points.
The Londoners' success was further enhanced by City's 2-2 draw with Nottingham Forest at the Etihad. The Citizens took the lead twice, but were equalised by their visitors on the same number of occasions. The first half ended 1-0, thanks to Semenjo's goal in the 31st minute.
Shortly after the start of the second half, Morgan Gibbs-White equalised at 1-1, but it wasn't long before Rodri fired the home side into the lead again. Nottingham didn't give up and in the 76th minute, Anderson scored his second goal. Despite the home side's continued efforts, the 2-2 score remained unchanged, with Guardiola's side losing ground in the race to Arsenal, falling seven points behind, but with a game in hand. Chelsea returned to victory, having beaten Aston Villa 4-1 away.
Meanwhile, West Ham also picked up three important points away from home, defeating Fulham by a narrow 0-1 score.
