Matchday 30 of the Premier League came to an end with very few surprises, as all the top teams secured victories and maintained their positions.

The six teams at the top of the table all won, although only Manchester City managed a comfortable victory, while the rest won by the narrowest of margins.

Liverpool claimed a 1-0 win in the Merseyside derby against Everton, the same scoreline by which Chelsea defeated Tottenham in a London clash. In another city rivalry, Arsenal edged Fulham 2-1, while Nottingham Forest continued their impressive season by beating Manchester United.

The biggest surprise of the week came from Aston Villa, who secured a dominant 3-0 away victory over Brighton, surpassing them in the standings and moving closer to the European spots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arsenal held on to second place, hoping for a miracle to claim the Premier League<\/a> title, and did what mattered most: win. They secured a 2-1 victory over Fulham in Bukayo Saka\u2019s triumphant return.<\/strong>

The opening goal came in the 37th minute when Mikel Merino\u2019s shot deflected off a defender, completely changing the ball\u2019s trajectory as it was heading comfortably into Bernd Leno\u2019s hands.

The second goal arrived in the 73rd minute, shortly after Bukayo Saka came on, making his return after more than three months. The Englishman found himself unmarked and headed in a ball after a cross from Merino, which Gabriel Martinelli had slightly redirected.

Fulham pulled one back in stoppage time (90+4\u2019) when Rodrigo Muniz\u2019s shot took a deflection off William Saliba, wrong-footing David Raya.

Arsenal remains second with 61 points, 12 behind the leaders, while Fulham sits in ninth place with 45 points. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nottingham Forest continues to surprise as they fight for a spot in next season\u2019s Champions League. They secured a 1-0 victory over Manchester United, holding onto third place with a comfortable advantage. <\/strong>

The only goal of the match came just five minutes in, courtesy of Anthony Elanga, after a stunning solo run. Following a corner kick for the \u2018Red Devils,\u2019 Forest\u2019s defense cleared the ball with a header, and the 22-year-old Swede picked it up, sprinted the entire length of the pitch, and slotted a low shot between two defenders into the far corner.

Goalkeeper Matz Sels and the entire Nottingham defense deserve credit, as they managed to keep a clean sheet despite facing 23 shots from United.

Nuno Esp\u00edrito Santo\u2019s side now has 57 points, five ahead of Chelsea, while R\u00faben Amorim\u2019s team sits in 13th place with 37 points. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manchester City quickly took care of business, securing a 2-0 win over Leicester to stay in the race for a Champions League spot.

Pep Guardiola\u2019s team had no trouble, as they were already up 1-0 within two minutes thanks to a Jack Grealish goal following a cutback pass from Savinho.

The second goal came in the 29th minute after a mix-up between Mads Hermansen and Wout Faes. The goalkeeper failed to secure the ball, leaving it at the feet of Omar Marmoush, who calmly slotted it into an empty net.

It was a dominant display from City. They couldn\u2019t add more goals but comfortably grabbed the win. They now sit in fifth place with 51 points, just one behind Chelsea. Meanwhile, Leicester moves closer to relegation, sitting second-to-last with 17 points, far from safety in 17th place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Liverpool claimed the Merseyside Derby with a 1-0 victory over Everton in a tightly contested match despite the \u2018Reds\u2019 dominance.

The only goal came in the 57th minute, scored by Diogo Jota after a brilliant backheel pass from Luis D\u00edaz, followed by a well-executed move and finish inside the box by the Portuguese forward.

In the first half, the \u2018Toffees\u2019 had two chances to take the lead through Beto. However, his first goal was disallowed for a marginal offside, and his second attempt struck the post.

Liverpool remains at the top with 73 points, while Everton sits 15th with 34.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
