Arsenal emphatically ended Aston Villa's impressive 11-game winning streak with a commanding 4-1 victory on Tuesday, extending their lead at the top of the Premier League to five points. The Gunners' dominant performance came as rivals Chelsea and Manchester United faltered in their bids to secure a top-four position.

Martin Zubimendi, Arsenal's Spanish defender, was among the goalscorers, contributing to a scoreline that reflected Arsenal's control of the match. The victory served as revenge for Arsenal, who suffered their only defeat in their last 25 games in all competitions earlier this month against Aston Villa at Villa Park.

Meanwhile, Manchester United were held to a disappointing 1-1 draw at Old Trafford by Wolves, who secured only their third point of the season. The result further dampened the mood at United, who have struggled for consistency this campaign. Chelsea's woes continued as they were held 2-2 by Bournemouth on Saturday, marking their sixth Premier League game in the last seven where they have failed to secure a win.

The Arsenal victory showcased their title credentials, reminiscent of their dominant form in the early 2000s under Arsene Wenger. Their ability to bounce back from their recent defeat against Villa demonstrates their resilience and determination to maintain their position at the summit of the league. The Gunners will look to continue their winning ways in their next fixture, while Aston Villa will aim to recover from this setback and resume their pursuit of a European qualification spot. Manchester United will need to address their inconsistencies quickly if they hope to challenge for a Champions League place, and Chelsea face mounting pressure to turn their season around after a string of underwhelming performances.
