Premier League: Arsenal, Man City cruise to victory; Haaland shines
Erling Haaland scores a brace as Manchester City eases past West Ham
Erling Haaland continued his incredible scoring run as Manchester City cruised to a 2-0 victory over West Ham United in the Premier League on Sunday.
The Norwegian striker scored in each half to take his tally to 27 goals in all competitions this season. Kevin De Bruyne had an assist on both goals.
Bernardo Silva and Riyad Mahrez also impressed for City, who were in complete control of the match from start to finish.
Arsenal maintain top spot with comfortable win over Brentford
Arsenal maintained their five-point lead at the top of the Premier League after a comfortable 3-0 victory over Brentford.
William Saliba, Gabriel Jesus, and Fabio Vieira scored the goals for the Gunners, who were rarely troubled by their opponents.
The win keeps Arsenal in pole position to win their first Premier League title since 2004.
Jorginho scores penalty as Chelsea beat Aston Villa
Chelsea moved up to eighth in the Premier League after a narrow 1-0 victory over Aston Villa.
Jorginho scored the only goal of the game from the penalty spot after Emiliano Buendia had fouled Mateo Kovacic in the box.
The win was Chelsea’s second in a row and will give manager Graham Potter some much-needed breathing space.

Conclusion
The Premier League title race is heating up, with Arsenal and Manchester City both in impressive form. Haaland continues to be the league’s top scorer, and his goals are helping City stay in touch with the Gunners.
Chelsea’s win over Aston Villa will give Potter some respite, but the Blues still have a lot of work to do to climb the table.
