Katie gornall reports. Arsenals players knew all too well the stakes were high on the margins were tight. With a first title in 20 years on the line, there was no room for error. Instead, spurs slipped up. An own goalfrom hojbjerg. Arsenal were up and running and saka was at the heart of everything. Their second, was at the heart of everything. Theirsecond, his 15th was at the heart of everything. Their second, his 15th league goal of the season. Spurs had top four ambitions of their own but that look to distance dream when havertz was amongst marks to put arsenal 3 0 up. But then raya did this and romero change the mood. Arsenal were rattled and for a moment restless, meaning a penalty causing chaos in the stands. It was an anxious finale but arsenal survived, their title remaining on track. Man city, it is over to you. Its been three wins in a row for arsenal since they went out of the Champions League, and after their challenge fell away in the final 10 games of last season, away in the final 10 this time around, it would appear theyre not letting up. And mikel arteta is impressed with how they held on amid a difficult finish to the game. You know how much it means to north london, this match, and we were fishing the first time, really good in the second half, the control we heard. We made a big mistake with the penalty but then a lot of pressure my players. Its even more difficult and its great at the end when you manage to win it. It was tense at the end, yes. Its a difference of where we are at the moment. Its about the details, making the moment. Its about the details, making sure we are always focused in every making sure we are always focused in every area making sure we are always focused in every area of making sure we are always focused in every area of the game, whether its transition every area of the game, whether its transition moments and still not there.

Arsenal taking advantage of our lack of it. Arsenal taking advantage of our lack of focus on details and to give yourself lack of focus on details and to give yourself a lack of focus on details and to give yourself a mountain to climb. Arsenals win put Manchester City under pressure, but they responded with a 2 0 victory at Nottingham Forest. The champions took the lead just after the half hour mark when kevin de bruynes corner was met Byjosko Gvardiol to head beyond matz sels at the near post. And de bruyne was involved again in the second, sliding in Erling Haaland through on goal for the substitute to find the far corner of the net. City are now one point behind arsenal in the league, but have that all important game in hand. So the gap between the top two remains the same, but still citys advantage lies in their game in hand. Liveprool have played the same amount of games as arsenal but are now five points behind. While crucially if spurs win their two games in hand on aston villa they now wont take fourth from them and with it a guaranteed Champions League spot. Arsenals next game is against bournemouth, who now sit tenth in the table, amd with a Record Amount of points for a Premier League season. They beat brighton 3 0 at the vitality stadium. Going ahead early through marco senesi, and then goals from enes unaland Justin Kluivert gave bournemouth a convincing victory that takes them to 48 points and leaves brighton looking for a first win since mid march. Were really happy, i think the players deserved the points, they have performed perfectly well even at the beginning when we werent getting the results we were pushing for and we were playing well. And now we want more points and we want to continue, we know we had a difficult three last games but we will try to do our best, yes. We would like to give more and more but may be in this moment its tough for us playing better, its tough for us to keep motivation in the right way but we have to work seriously hard to play for us, for our club, for our. Fans. Celtic and rangers both recorded 2 1wins in the Scottish Premiership today, but after almost a month without a victory for rangers, they stay three points behind their rivals, as nick parrott reports. Rangers are still in the title race, much to their relief as this was a farfrom much to their relief as this was a far from easy much to their relief as this was a farfrom easy finish. The pressure to avoid their worst run in the league may play their part in an early start, almost costing them dear. But the boosted their confidence, Testing Zach Hemming more than once before he cracked and centre back James Boulton couldnt save him. Rangers joy was short lived after coming back on level terms after claiming their first run in six meetings with rangers. And i would have been worse before half time is had it not been forjack bartlett. Belinda. Celtic was left needing to beat dundee. Most would have assumed it would be a formality given the last time they met the champions, 7 1. Did it carve an hour to make a breakthrough at dems park. It was their 100th of the season, waiting another half hour before doubling his tally. There should have been enough for celtic to see at the scene comfortably but they were the only ones lacking composure. They failed to make the most of several corners until the shot was helped home. Despite that slip up, celtic held up to maintain their three point lead at the top of the table. Arsenal are all but out of the Wsl Title Race and by the end of the day it could be certain they wont win the league this season.

And they almost took the lead themselves when heading the bar. Missed opportunities continued into the second half as arsenal look to get there when they wanted to remain on the coat tails of manchester and man city. But when caught, Alessia Russo plans a kick when her tenth goal of the season. It looked unlikely everton would come back but that they did with the help of some of that resilience and a 16 year old.
