What a day of Premier League football on Saturday, May 2, 2026! The title race ignited, relegation scraps got spicier, and European dreams took big hits or boosts. From Emirates fireworks to Gtech Community Stadium dominance, the drama was non-stop. Let’s dive into the action-packed results that had fans on the edge of their seats.
Arsenal 3-0 Fulham: Gyökeres & Saka Turn Up the Heat!
The big one at the Emirates was pure Arsenal dominance. Viktor Gyökeres was on absolute fire, bagging a brace (9’ and 45+4’), while Bukayo Saka added a clinical strike in the 40th minute. Arsenal cruised to a comfortable 3-0 win, moving six points clear at the top with 76 points from 35 games.
Gyökeres opened the scoring early after slick work from Saka, then Saka repaid the favor with a beauty assisted by the Swede. Gyökeres capped the first half with a clinical header. Arsenal controlled the game (nearly 3 xG to Fulham’s 0.43), kept a clean sheet, and sent a massive warning shot to Manchester City in the title race.
Mikel Arteta’s men looked sharp and ruthless — exactly what you need as the season hits the home stretch. This result keeps their destiny firmly in their own hands. Gyökeres is proving to be a monster signing, and the Emirates was rocking!
Brentford 3-0 West Ham: Bees Buzzing, Hammers in Deep Trouble
In a fiery London derby, Brentford dismantled West Ham 3-0. An own goal from Konstantinos Mavropanos (15’), a penalty from Igor Thiago (his 25th of the season!), and a late stunner from Mikkel Damsgaard (82’) sealed it.
Brentford climbed nicely with this win, while West Ham dropped into serious relegation danger at 17th on 36 points. The Hammers’ survival fight just got a whole lot tougher — one more slip and they could be staring at the drop. Brentford, meanwhile, are flying and eyeing a European spot!
