Premier League Results: Latest Table, Title Odds After Sunday's Week 35 Scores

Gianni VerschuerenApr 24, 2016

Arsenal’s Premier League title challenge officially came to an end on Sunday, as the Gunners’ goalless draw against Sunderland and Leicester City’s 4-0 win over Swansea City means only two teams can still mathematically win the title.

The Foxes remain the favourites, leading Tottenham Hotspur by eight points in the standings. Spurs still have a match in hand, but even if the team beats West Bromwich Albion on Monday, it will be difficult to catch up to the Foxes, with just three matches left.

Here’s a look at Sunday’s results:

Recap

Leicester continued their march to the Premier League title on Sunday, as even the absence of Jamie Vardy didn't stop the team from recording a 4-0 win over Swansea. 

Leonardo Ulloa replaced the suspended England international and scored the Foxes' second and third goals, after Riyad Mahrez had given the team the lead. Former Leicester star Gary Lineker weighed in on the action:

The Foxes dug in and barely gave Swansea any space to work with in the attacking third, and Ulloa added a third goal after a swift counter-attack in the second half. Marc Albrighton completed the scoring with a late goal of his own.

Tottenham will have the chance to bring the gap between both sides back to five points on Monday, when they play West Bromwich Albion, and in all likelihood, Week 36 will be the key week in this year's title race. The Foxes will visit a Manchester United squad still vying for a spot in the top four, while Spurs play London rivals Chelsea.

Arsenal never got going against the Black Cats, who defended with numbers and grabbed a vital point in the battle against relegation. With the draw, Sunderland move level on points with Norwich City, and a better goal differential means the team currently sits outside of the relegation zone.

Alexis Sanchez had a few opportunities to give his team the lead, and Alex Iwobi and Olivier Giroud both wasted a handful of chances as well. The latter in particular was a source for criticism after the match, with plenty of fans pointing at his abysmal recent scoring record, via Squawka Football:

Per the club’s official Twitter account, manager Arsene Wenger spoke out in defence of the striker:

Per Mertesacker and DeAndre Yedlin both handled the ball inside the box, but both incidents appeared incidental, and official Mike Dean decided against awarding a penalty on both occasions.

Apart from those incidents and a handful of chances, Sunday’s clash at the Stadium of Light was a disappointing one, and perhaps a fitting end to Arsenal’s title challenge. The season started with so much hope, and the Gunners led the standings at the halfway point, but a dreadful run quickly dashed the fans’ hope this would be the Gunners’ year.

Daniel Taylor of the Guardian fears for Wenger, given the struggles of the Premier League’s other traditional powers this season and his inability to take advantage:

"

The bottom line, unfortunately for Wenger, is that if Arsenal are 10 points adrift in a season when Manchester City, Chelsea and Manchester United have all, at one time or another, been inconceivably poor, it is difficult in the extreme to imagine that it will be any less traumatic when [Pep] Guardiola, and possibly Jose Mourinho, are involved, not to mention Antonio Conte, Jurgen Klopp and the small matter of Mauricio Pochettino turning Spurs into the best team in London for the first time since 1995.

"

The Frenchman’s future will be hotly debated in the coming weeks, but by now, the Gunners have gotten used to that. The focus will now shift toward securing a top-four finish and UEFA Champions League football, as United suddenly sit just five points behind Arsenal in the standings, with a match in hand.

The Gunners still have to play Manchester City before the end of the season, so that top-four spot is far from safe.
