Man United Surge to Top Four, Liverpool Slide Continues, Sunderland Stun Chelsea in Dramatic Weekend

Manchester United extended their resurgence with a thrilling 4-2 triumph over Brighton, their third consecutive Premier League win and propelling them into the top four. Brighton took the lead through a stunning goal from Matheus Cunha, later doubling through Casemiro and a brace by Bryan Mbeumo. Brighton's latter-day surge was unable to prevent United from taking the win.

Simultaneously, Liverpool's title defense suffered another setback as they recorded a fourth consecutive league loss, losing 3-2 to Brentford. In spite of a midweek Champions League victory, defensive mistakes and squandered chances overshadowed their performance. Mohamed Salah's late strike could not make up for a point.

In a stunning upset, newly promoted Sunderland stunned Chelsea with a 2-1 win at Stamford Bridge. After Garnacho had given the home team an early goal, Wilson Isidor equalized before substitute Chemsdine Talbi clinched a stoppage-time dramatic winner, propelling Sunderland to second place in the league table.

Newcastle also experienced late satisfaction, defeating Fulham 2-1 through a last-minute strike by Bruno Guimaraes. The win is morale-boosting and puts the Magpies closer to top-four.

Results this weekend indicate a shift in the tide of momentum across the league as underdogs take revenge and giants fall.
