**Manchester City Close Gap as Arsenal's Lead is Slipped** The Nigerian football faithful will be watching with bated breath as the Premier League title race continues to heat up. With Arsenal's lead at the top now down to just three points, Manchester City have narrowed the gap significantly following a dominant 3-0 win over Fulham at the Etihad Stadium. City's attacking prowess was on full display as they took a commanding lead within the first 39 minutes. Their star striker, Erling Haaland, finally broke his eight-game drought in the Premier League with a clinical finish. But it was not just Haaland who impressed, as winter signing Antoine Semenyo scored the opener and provided an assist for Nico O'Reilly's second goal. Semenyo's contribution to the team has been a welcome boost, and his performance against Fulham will only add to his growing reputation as a top-class player. Despite taking Haaland off at halftime, City's lead was never threatened, and they cruised to a comfortable victory. Meanwhile, other results across the league saw Aston Villa edge out Brighton and Hove Albion in a thrilling match that was sealed by an 86th-minute own goal. Villa now sit third in the table with 50 points, and their prospects of challenging for the title are starting to look more realistic. In other news, Liverpool inflicted Sunderland's first home defeat of the season with a 1-0 win against Virgil van Dijk's 61st-minute goal. Burnley also pulled off a remarkable comeback against Crystal Palace, coming back from 2-0 down to win 3-2. Finally, Wolves and Nottingham Forest drew 0-0, in a match that lacked the excitement of some of the other results. As the Premier League title race enters its final stretch, Nigerian football fans will be eagerly anticipating the next installment of action. Will Arsenal be able to hold onto their lead, or will Manchester City continue to close the gap? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain - it's going to be an exciting finish to the season.
