Arsenal kept their Premier League title destiny in their own hands as they eked out a nervy 2-1 derby win against Chelsea on Sunday with their corner routines again coming to the rescue, Reuters reported.
Jurrien Timber's second-half header ensured Arsenal restored their five-point lead over Manchester City who had upped the ante with victory over Leeds United the day before.
Manchester United returned to the Premier League's top three for the first time since May 2023 as they came from a goal down to beat Crystal Palace 2-1 at Old Trafford, according to Reuters.
Kane double, Kimmich strike give leaders Bayern 3-2 comeback win at Dortmund
Bundesliga top scorer Harry Kane scored twice in 16 minutes and Joshua Kimmich snatched an 87th-minute winner as visitors Bayern Munich battled from a goal down to beat title rivals Borussia Dortmund 3-2 in a pulsating Der Klassiker on Saturday, Reuters reported.

England captain and man-of-the-match Kane, who equalled a league record with at least two goals in four consecutive matches, has now netted 30 times in 24 league games this season, according to Reuters.
Pakistan knocked out as New Zealand reach semis
Sahibzada Farhan made a superb century as Pakistan beat Sri Lanka by five runs in the T20 World Cup Super 8s but missed out on a semi-final spot on net run-rate, BBC reported.
Farhan's 100 off 60 balls featured nine fours and five sixes as Pakistan posted 212-8 - their highest-ever total at a T20 World Cup.
Pakistan needed to restrict Sri Lanka to 147 runs or fewer in their reply to ensure their net run-rate was better than New Zealand's in Group 2.
However, Sri Lanka managed to scrape past the figure in 15.5 overs for the loss of five wickets which saw the Black Caps progress to the knockout phase, according to BBC.
