LONDON, Feb 1, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Arsenal settled any fears of a collapse in their pursuit of a first Premier League title in 22 years by thrashing Leeds 4-0 on Saturday as Chelsea came from two goals down to beat West Ham 3-2. But his replacement Noni Madueke played a major part in inflicting just a second defeat in 12 games on Leeds. A third consecutive league win would have taken Nuno Espirito Santo's side to within two points of safety. But they wilted under the weight of Chelsea pressure after Rosenior's triple half-time substitution inspired a transformed second-half performance. Chelsea move above Manchester United into fourth and open up a four-point lead over Liverpool, who host Newcastle later, in the battle for a place in next season's Champions League.
