Leeds United took a massive step toward securing their Premier League survival with a dominant 3-0 victory over Wolves, establishing a nine-point buffer from the drop zone.

Two quick-fire goals in the first half from James Justin and Noah Okafor stunned the visitors before Dominic Calvert-Lewin converted a late stoppage-time penalty to seal the win.

This result follows a historic away victory at Manchester United and leaves Wolves on the brink of mathematical relegation, having secured only three wins from 33 matches this season.

The success of promoted sides like Leeds and Sunderland has bucked a two-year trend of newly promoted teams facing immediate relegation.

While Daniel Farke’s squad looks safe and prepares for an FA Cup semi-final against Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur find themselves in a desperate fight to avoid falling out of the top flight for the first time in nearly 50 years.

Spurs boss Roberto De Zerbi is hoping for a turnaround against Brighton, bolstered by the return of James Maddison to the bench after a long-term knee injury.

Elsewhere, Bournemouth continued their impressive form with a 2-1 win at Newcastle, climbing to eighth place and maintaining a 13-match unbeaten streak.

The defeat intensifies pressure on Newcastle manager Eddie Howe, despite his trophy success last season, as the Magpies’ European ambitions fade.

Meanwhile, the title race looms large as leaders Arsenal prepare for a high-stakes Sunday clash against Manchester City, holding a six-point lead but facing a City side with a crucial game in hand.
