New Delhi: The latest round of Premier League fixtures brought significant changes to the points table as teams battled for crucial positions. Manchester United earned a narrow 1-0 win over Fulham at Craven Cottage, thanks to a deflected strike from Lisandro Martinez. It wasn’t the most exciting match, with United managing just one shot on target. Fulham came close late on, but Toby Collyer’s goal-line clearance secured the points. This victory moved United up to 12th, while Fulham’s hopes for a European spot took a dent as they stayed in 10th place.
Leicester City finally ended their seven-game losing streak with a dramatic 2-1 comeback win over Tottenham at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Richarlison had given Spurs the lead, but two quick goals after halftime from Jamie Vardy and Bilal El Khannouss turned the game around. Leicester’s win saw them leapfrog Wolves and move out of the relegation zone into 17th, just one point clear of the drop. Spurs, on the other hand, remain in 15th, seven points above the Foxes.
Brentford made it back-to-back away wins by defeating Crystal Palace 2-1 at Selhurst Park. Bryan Mbeumo’s retaken penalty and Kevin Schade’s header sealed the victory, despite a late goal from Palace’s Romain Esse. Brentford held onto 11th place but stretched their lead over 12th-placed Palace to four points, keeping them within reach of the top half.
West Ham earned a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Aston Villa at Villa Park. Jacob Ramsey gave Villa an early lead, but a second-half header from Emerson levelled the match. The draw sees West Ham strengthen their position, moving 11 points clear of the relegation zone. Meanwhile, Villa stayed eighth, four points behind Manchester City in fourth, as their push for European qualification continues.
