Manchester City maintained their pursuit of Premier League leaders Arsenal with a 3-0 victory over Crystal Palace on Sunday. The win, which keeps City two points behind the leaders, was led by Erling Haaland's two goals and Phil Foden's strike. Haaland's impressive display, which included a thundering header and a penalty kick, was praised by manager Pep Guardiola. In other matches, Aston Villa secured a crucial 3-2 comeback win over West Ham United, remaining in the title hunt. Villa's Morgan Rogers scored twice, including a late equaliser, to seal the points. Rogers' double lifted Villa to third place in the standings, while West Ham's defeat left them third from bottom. Sunderland claimed a hard-fought 1-0 win over Newcastle United in a highly anticipated derby match. The match was marred by a serious chest injury to Newcastle's Dan Burn, who was taken to hospital. Sunderland's win, which came courtesy of an unfortunate own goal from Nick Woltemade, earned them vital bragging rights. Nottingham Forest moved five points clear of the danger zone with a 3-0 thrashing of Tottenham Hotspur. Callum Hudson-Odoi scored twice, and Ibrahim Sangare added a late goal to lift Forest to 16th place in the standings. Leeds United salvaged a point in a late match against Brentford, coming back from a goal down to draw 1-1. The Premier League continues to heat up, with several teams vying for a spot in the title chase. Manchester United host Bournemouth on Monday, while Arsenal will look to maintain their lead against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
