Arsenal moved one step closer to winning the Premier League 2025-26 title after a dramatic 1-0 victory over West Ham United. The important win helped Mikel Arteta’s side remain at the top of the EPL points table and increased pressure on defending champions Manchester City in the final weeks of the season.
Leandro Trossard scored the winning goal late in the match, while Arsenal also survived a tense stoppage-time VAR review that ruled out a West Ham equaliser. The result allowed the Gunners to maintain a strong lead in the title race as the season moves toward its final rounds.
At the moment, Arsenal are leading the Premier League standings with 79 points from 36 matches. Manchester City remain in second place with 74 points and still have one game in hand. The title race is now entering a crucial stage, with every remaining match carrying huge importance for both clubs.
Arsenal are now very close to securing their first Premier League title since the famous “Invincibles” season in 2004. According to reports, the North London club can become champions if they win their remaining matches or if Manchester City drop points in any of their upcoming games.
The current situation gives Arsenal a major advantage because only a few matches remain in the season. Their remaining fixtures include matches against Burnley and Crystal Palace, while Manchester City still have difficult games left against Crystal Palace, Bournemouth, and Aston Villa.
Football analysts believe Arsenal’s recent consistency and defensive performances have helped them stay in control of the title race. The team has managed several important wins under pressure, and many supporters now believe this could finally be the season when Arsenal end their long wait for the Premier League trophy.
However, Manchester City are still mathematically in the race and could continue to challenge Arsenal until the final matchday. Pep Guardiola’s side has experience handling pressure during title races and remains one of the strongest teams in English football. Experts say the battle may still go down to the final week depending on upcoming results.
Premier League rules also state that if two teams finish level on points, the title would first be decided on goal difference, followed by goals scored if needed. Arsenal currently hold a slight advantage in goal difference as well, which could become important later in the season.
The race for the Premier League trophy has become one of the biggest stories in world football this season, with fans closely watching every match involving Arsenal and Manchester City. With only a short time left before the campaign ends, Arsenal now stand in a strong position to lift the EPL trophy and complete a memorable season.
