Premier League Roundup, Matchday 29
Matchday 29 of the Premier League has concluded, featuring exciting matches, standout player performances, and unexpected outcomes. Below is the Premier League roundup for this round of games.
Southampton 1-2 Wolves
Wolves created a nine-point cushion above the relegation zone by beating Championship-bound Southampton 2-1, which has left the Saints with only two wins at St Mary’s in their last 30 Premier League home matches. This victory could be a significant morale boost for Wolves in their fight for survival, as they remain in 17th place but have extended their lead over 18th-placed Ipswich Town due to Ipswich’s loss to Nottingham Forest.
Manchester City 2-2 Brighton
Brighton successfully equalized twice to achieve a commendable 2-2 draw with Manchester City, who are also competing for a top-four spot in the Premier League. In the end, neither side was able to net a third goal, leaving Pep Guardiola’s team just one point shy of the top four. Although Brighton’s run of six straight victories was halted, they continue to be in the hunt for European qualification.
Ipswich 2-4 Nottingham Forest
Nottingham Forest pressed on in their pursuit of a top-four finish in the Premier League with a commanding 4-2 victory against Ipswich. This result means that Ipswich remains the only team in England’s top four divisions without a league win in 2025. Forest’s significant three points solidified their position in the top four, while Ipswich now finds themselves nine points away from safety with 9 matches left to play.
Everton 1-1 West Ham
Jake O’Brien netted a last-minute equalizer, allowing Everton to secure a 1-1 draw against West Ham and maintain their unbeaten streak in the Premier League at nine games. Moyes’ team achieved their fifth draw in six matches, keeping them ahead of their opponents on goal difference.
Bournemouth 1-2 Brentford
Brentford rallied to defeat Bournemouth 2-1, ensuring that the Cherries have yet to secure a victory against them in the Premier League (PL). This victory marked Brentford’s fifth straight away win, allowing them to rise to 11th place in the PL standings, just three points behind Bournemouth.
Fulham 2-0 Tottenham
Fulham’s pursuit of European competition received a significant boost this weekend as they defeated Tottenham 2-0 in a London derby, closing the gap to the top four to just four points. Ryan Sessegnon managed to push Ben Davies off the ball and scored a beautiful right-footed goal, putting an end to Spurs’ two-match winning streak in away league games.
Arsenal 1-0 Chelsea
Arsenal broke their streak of three consecutive winless matches in the Premier League by securing a tight 1-0 win against fellow London team Chelsea. This defeat marked Chelsea’s seventh consecutive away league match without a victory, with two draws and five losses. Despite still holding the final guaranteed spot for the Champions League, Chelsea’s ongoing struggle, having not won in their last seven league encounters against Arsenal, is unlikely to improve their morale as the season approaches its conclusion.
Leicester City 0-3 Manchester United
With Bruno Fernandes leading the way, Manchester United secured a comfortable 3-0 win against Leicester City in the Premier League. As a result of other matches, Leicester City now sits nine points adrift of safety in 19th place, while the Red Devils have moved up to 13th, possibly feeling more optimistic after advancing in the Europa League midweek.
