Liverpool and Manchester City Step Up Their Game, Aston Villa Makes History

Liverpool's experienced duo, Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk, proved their worth in the Merseyside derby, as they scored the goals that secured a 2-1 win over Everton. Meanwhile, Manchester City took advantage of Arsenal's slip-up to close the gap at the top of the table. Aston Villa, on the other hand, is quietly setting themselves up for a historic end to the season, having moved 10 points clear inside the top five and into the semi-finals of the Europa League. Elsewhere, Morgan Gibbs-White was the star of the show as Nottingham Forest beat Burnley 3-1, scoring a hat-trick and leading his team from the front. The battle to finish in sixth and seventh in the final month of the season is heating up, with several teams still in contention, including Chelsea, Brentford, and Everton.
