EPL: Chelsea thrash Wolves to go second as Arsenal’s winning run ends

Chelsea defeated Wolves 3-0 in the Premier League game at Stamford Bridge, featuring the first goal of Malo Gusto’s career, while Arsenal’s 10-game winning run in all competitions was ended by Sunderland on Saturday.

French defender Gusto, who arrived from Lyon in 2023, put Chelsea ahead after the interval with his maiden professional goal.

Joao Pedro doubled the lead and Pedro Neto wrapped up Chelsea’s fourth win in their last five league games as they closed within six points of leaders Arsenal.

However, the Blues are expected to drop out of second place after Manchester City face Liverpool on Sunday.

Arsenal’s 10-game winning run came to an end as Brian Brobbey’s last-gasp goal gave Sunderland a dramatic 2-2 draw against the Premier League leaders.

Former Arsenal defender Dan Ballard fired Sunderland ahead with a powerful finish in the 36th minute at the Stadium of Light.

That ended the Gunners’ run of eight consecutive clean sheets in all competitions.

Bukayo Saka levelled with a composed finish in the 54th minute before Leandro Trossard smashed Arsenal into the lead from the edge of the Sunderland area in the 76th minute.

Arsenal were within touching distance of an 11th successive victory in all competitions, but Brobbey stabbed home from Ballard’s header to earn a point in the fourth minute of stoppage time.

It was the first time they had failed to win in any competition since a 1-1 draw with Manchester City in the top flight on September 21.

Manchester United also rescued a 2-2 draw at Tottenham on Saturday, while West Ham boosted their bid to avoid relegation with a 3-2 win against fellow strugglers Burnley at the London Stadium.

Everton ended a three-game winless run with a 2-0 victory over Fulham at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
