Matchweek 32 of the Premier League delivered drama and defining moments. Liverpool continued their unstoppable run by defeating West Ham, putting themselves within touching distance of the title. Mo Salah set a new Premier League record with his 45th goal contribution of the season, while Virgil Van Dijk netted the late winner to redeem his earlier own goal. With Arsenal needing to beat Ipswich to stay alive in the title race, the Reds could mathematically seal the trophy next Sunday.
In stark contrast, Chelsea faltered at home against Ipswich. Despite dominating early on, the Blues went 0-2 down and only managed to draw 2-2, missing a golden opportunity to solidify their top-four ambitions. Cole Palmer looked off-form, and defensive errors returned after a run of clean sheets, making this draw a major setback.
Tottenham’s woes deepened in Wolverhampton, where they crumbled 4-2 amid defensive chaos and uncharacteristic mistakes by goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario. Even Richarlison’s late goal couldn’t inspire a comeback. The North London side now clings to European hopes through the Europa League.
