London: Arsenal snatched a dramatic stoppage-time victory to move five points clear at the Premier League summit, while Mohamed Salah etched his name further into football history on a high-stakes Saturday in Matchweek 16.

Gunners Survive Wolves Scare to Extend Lead

Arsenal maintained their title charge with a 2-1 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers at the Emirates, though they relied on two own goals to bypass a spirited bottom-of-the-table side. Despite dominating possession, Mikel Arteta’s men struggled for clinical finishing, failing to register a shot on target until the 68th minute.

The deadlock broke when Sam Johnstone inadvertently knocked a Bukayo Saka corner into his own net. Wolves stunned the home crowd with a 90th-minute equaliser from Tolu Arokodare, but the drama peaked in the 94th minute when Yerson Mosquera diverted another Saka cross past his own keeper. The result moves the Gunners five points ahead of Manchester City, who face Crystal Palace on Sunday.

The contribution marked Salah’s 277th Premier League goal involvement for Liverpool, surpassing Wayne Rooney’s record for the most involvements at a single club. The win propels Arne Slot’s side into 6th place, firmly back in the European race.

Blues Snap Skid; Fulham Win Five-Goal Thriller
