Bournemouth: Dango Delivers in Style
Bournemouth are riding high after a dominant 5-0 victory over Nottingham Forest, extending their unbeaten Premier League run to 11 matches. Dango Ouattara stole the spotlight with a sensational hat-trick, further cementing the Cherries’ reputation as dark horses for a top-four finish.
Justin Kluivert opened the scoring with a classy finish, evoking memories of his legendary father, Patrick. Forest struggled to recover as Bournemouth’s relentless attack overwhelmed them. Tyler Adams’ inch-perfect pass set up Ouattara for a brilliant solo effort, and his third goal was the icing on the cake after Matz Sels failed to clear a fierce strike. Antoine Semenyo added a cheeky fifth to seal a perfect day for Andoni Iraola’s men.
Can Bournemouth sustain their Champions League dream? Or is this form too good to last? Let’s hear your take!
Arsenal: Super-Sub Secures Vital Win
Arsenal kept their title hopes alive with a gritty 1-0 victory against Wolves at Molineux. The chaotic clash saw both sides reduced to 10 men, but it was substitute Ricardo Calafiori’s stunning half-volley that separated the two.
Despite Wolves piling on the pressure, Arsenal’s resilience shone through. David Raya made critical saves to preserve a rare clean sheet for the Gunners. The victory pushes Arsenal closer to the league leaders while Wolves’ winless streak drags on.

Man City: Khusanov’s Nightmare, Haaland’s Brilliance
A rocky start from debutant Abdukodir Khusanov didn’t stop Manchester City from bouncing back to beat Chelsea 3-1. The defender’s early mistake gifted Chelsea the lead through Noni Madueke, but City roared back in style.
Josko Gvardiol equalized before Erling Haaland’s exquisite chip and Phil Foden’s composed finish sealed the points. The loss was a bitter blow for Chelsea, who have now dropped out of the top four after a promising start to the season under Enzo Maresca. City, meanwhile, reminded everyone of their title credentials with their depth and firepower.
Chelsea fans: is this just a blip, or are defensive lapses becoming a recurring theme?
Leicester: Foxes Stun Spurs
Ruud van Nistelrooy’s Leicester City pulled off a stunning comeback, defeating Spurs 3-1. After Richarlison gave Tottenham an early lead, Jamie Vardy’s poacher’s goal sparked a second-half revival.
Bilal El Khannouss’ composed finish and Boubakary Soumaré’s midfield dominance ensured three vital points, lifting Leicester out of the relegation zone. Meanwhile, Ange Postecoglou is facing mounting pressure as Spurs’ season spirals. With only one win in their last six games, Spurs are now struggling to maintain their European aspirations.
Should Spurs fans remain patient with Postecoglou or is it time for serious changes?
Real Madrid: Kylian’s Kingdom
Kylian Mbappé produced a masterclass with a hat-trick in Real Madrid’s 3-0 win over Valladolid, extending their lead atop La Liga. Mbappé’s clinical finishing, combined with Jude Bellingham’s creativity, left Valladolid chasing shadows.
A penalty capped off Mbappé’s first Real Madrid treble, as Los Blancos capitalized on Atlético Madrid’s slip to widen their title gap.
Is Mbappé the missing piece for Madrid’s European and domestic ambitions?
Barcelona: Ruthless Return
Barcelona annihilated Valencia 7-1 in a mesmerizing display of attacking football. Five first-half goals left no doubt about the outcome as the Catalans shook off their recent slump in spectacular fashion.
With Lewandowski, Raphinha and Frenkie de Jong all on target and young stars shining, Hansi Flick’s side reminded everyone why they’re still a force in Spain.
Can this be the turning point for Barça’s season?
Manchester United: Defensive Redemption
Manchester United edged Fulham 1-0 in a drab encounter, thanks to Lisandro Martínez’s deflected strike. Ruben Amorim’s men were outplayed for most of the match but held firm, with a late goal-line clearance from Toby Collyer sealing the win.
The victory lifts United to 12th, but questions remain about their lack of creativity and cutting edge.
Is this a step forward, or are the Red Devils still in trouble?
