Cole Palmer capped off the win with a brilliant solo effort, solidifying Chelsea’s league victory. The Blues now sit in third place with 25 points, level with Arsenal, who occupy second position due to goal difference.
Arsenal managed to stay within touching distance of the league leaders but will be wary of Chelsea’s growing momentum. Brighton, on the other hand, occupy fourth place with 23 points, matching Manchester City’s tally but edging ahead on goal difference.
City, having suffered their third defeat of the season, now find themselves slipping down the table, raising questions about their consistency in a highly competitive campaign.
