Man city revives title hopes with Everton win as Chelsea, Wolves secure narrow victories

Manchester City has delivered a revitalizing statement to Liverpool and Arsenal in the title race by securing a 1-3 victory against Everton at Goodison Park on Wednesday.

Despite the absence of Erling Haaland, who has missed six consecutive matches without a win for his team, there was a crucial need for a morale boost, and the win provides just that.

Haaland’s availability for the upcoming match against Newcastle on January 13 remained uncertain.

According to a report from an English media outlet, Manchester City officially claimed the title of the best team on the planet after goals from Julian Alvarez and Phil Foden sealed the victory.

In another Premier League clash, Chelsea narrowly escaped with a 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge.

The decisive moment came in the 89th minute when substitute Noni Madueke converted a penalty, allowing Chelsea to climb back into the top half of the league table.

Michael Olise had earlier equalized Mykhailo Mudryk’s early goal with a brilliant finish before Madueke’s late penalty secured the win for Chelsea.

Brentford experienced defensive struggles as Hwang Hee-chan scored twice, enabling Wolves to take full advantage and secure a convincing 4-1 win in west London.

This marked Wolves’ first victory in the capital in 15 attempts, with their previous win in London dating back to February of the previous year when they defeated Tottenham 2-0.
