After 22 years of waiting, Arsenal stand closer than ever to reclaiming the Premier League title — six points clear with three matches remaining, their 3-0 dismantling of Fulham less a result than a declaration. Manchester City, burdened by a more congested schedule and narrowing mathematical margins, must now win nearly everything while hoping Arsenal stumble. These final weeks distill a deeper tension in modern football: the hunger of a club rediscovering its identity against the cold efficiency of a dynasty defending its legacy.
