Cuti Romero slips up: Man United win, Arsenal extend lead | OneFootball

Matchday 25 of the 2026 Premier League was marked by tension at Old Trafford and decisiveness in London. In the most anticipated clash of the day, Manchester United took full advantage of Cristian "Cuti" Romero's early dismissal to defeat Tottenham 2-0. The Argentine defender received a straight red card 29 minutes into the first half after a harsh tackle, an error that dismantled the "Spurs'" strategic plan and cleared the way for Bryan Mbeumo and Bruno Fernandes to seal the victory for the "Red Devils".

Meanwhile, at the Emirates Stadium, Mikel Arteta's Arsenal confirmed their status as absolute leaders with a football exhibition against Sunderland. The "Gunners" won 3-0 in a match they dominated from start to finish thanks to ball possession and suffocating high pressure. Spanish midfielder Martín Zubimendi opened the scoring with a powerful shot from outside the box, while Swedish Viktor Gyökeres became the standout player by scoring a double that sealed the rout in the additional time.

The rest of the English matchday left results that stir the middle and upper zones of the standings. Chelsea returned to victory with a solid 3-1 over Wolves, showing a much more aggressive offensive side. Elsewhere, West Ham comfortably defeated Burnley 2-0, Everton secured a tight 2-1 win against Fulham, and Bournemouth shared points with Aston Villa after a 1-1 draw in a very even match.

With these results, Arsenal extends their great form and solidifies as the team to beat in the championship, while Tottenham will need to reassess their defensive discipline following the key loss of Romero, which cost them dearly in their visit to Manchester.
