ManCity close gap on Arsenal to just two points

The Premier League title race has been blown wide open. Manchester City's 2-1 victory over Newcastle United means they are now just two points behind Arsenal, who have drawn their last two matches. Meanwhile, Chelsea threw away two points against relegation-threatened Burnley after a late equaliser from Dutch striker Zian Flemming.

Manchester City 2-1 Newcastle United: O'Reilly the hero

Manchester City kept the pressure on Arsenal with a hard-fought victory over Newcastle United at the Etihad Stadium.

The hero of the night was 20-year-old Nico O'Reilly, who is enjoying a breakthrough season at City. The English midfielder scored both goals to secure all three points for Pep Guardiola's side.

O'Reilly's emergence has been one of the stories of the season, and his brace against Newcastle demonstrated exactly why Guardiola has placed so much faith in the youngster. His composure in front of goal belied his years as he fired City to within touching distance of the league leaders.

Newcastle pulled one back but couldn't find an equaliser as City held on for a crucial victory. The result means the gap between the top two is now just two points – a remarkable turnaround given Arsenal held a nine-point advantage just three weeks ago.

Title race: Arsenal's lead evaporates

Arsenal's collapse has been dramatic. After seemingly cruising towards their first Premier League title since 2004, the Gunners have drawn consecutive matches against Brentford (1-1) and Wolves (2-2), throwing away leads in both games.

1 Arsenal 27 58 —
2 Manchester City 27 56 -2

With 11 matches remaining, the title race is now a straight shootout between the top two. Arsenal and City will also meet in the EFL Cup Final on March 22 before their potential title-deciding clash at the Etihad on April 18.

Chelsea 1-1 Burnley: Flemming header denies Blues

Chelsea were held to a frustrating 1-1 draw by relegation-threatened Burnley at Stamford Bridge after a stoppage-time equaliser from Dutch striker Zian Flemming.

The Blues made the perfect start, with João Pedro opening the scoring after just four minutes. It appeared Chelsea were on course for a comfortable victory against the second-bottom side.

However, the match turned in the 72nd minute when Wesley Fofana was sent off for a reckless challenge on James Ward-Prowse. With a man advantage, Burnley pushed for an equaliser and found one deep into stoppage time.

Flemming rose highest to meet Ward-Prowse's corner, heading the ball across goal and into the net in the 93rd minute. It was the 27-year-old Dutchman's sixth Premier League goal of the season, and a vital one for Burnley's survival hopes.

Despite the dramatic equaliser, Burnley remain in deep trouble at the bottom of the table. They sit second-last, eight points adrift of 17th-placed Nottingham Forest with time running out to save their season.

Chelsea stay fourth on 45 points but could be overtaken by Manchester United on Monday if the Red Devils win their match.

    We always use LFT when we want to see a match outside the US. They always have inventory and we’ve always received our tickets. The process is easy too!

    10/10. Seemed sketchy at first but over all a great company. Customer Service answered all of my questions and the seller sent me mobile tickets a day earlier than scheduled. I was supposed to have to print off my tickets so this worked out amazing. Used this sight for the PSG v Liverpool game.

    Got tickets for PSG - Liverpool game. Got second last row at Parc des Princes, but the stadium is fantastic so the view was great. Not blocked, can see everything perfectly, kinda like tactical camera. The delivery was simple, just an email the night before or the morning (dont remember), but definitely no stress. Also the ticket had my name on it, as PSG fans said it was quite important to have my name on a ticket for this stadium, so that was an extra plus. Overall it was great. Match was fantastic! Lifetime memory! And the service was good

    The ease of buying tickets, my e tickets were e mailed to me in good time for the event with all relevant information to follow. Which let me relax and plan other things to do whilst on our trip. I will be using this company again for football events, and I would recommend them.

    Great experience. I bought the tickets and i received them a day or two before the game and no issues whatsoever when i got to the stadium. I do have to confess the service fee % is very high, it could deffo be way lower.
