According to a report by the Premier League’s official website, on Wednesday, February 11, 2026, midweek action across the division brought about significant adjustments to the league table.
Manchester City produced a clinical display to overcome Fulham 3-0 and stay within close range of Arsenal at the summit. Antoine Semenyo broke the deadlock in the 24th minute before Nico O’Reilly struck soon after to double the advantage. Erling Haaland added another before the interval to put the contest beyond doubt, and there were no further goals after the break. The outcome keeps Pep Guardiola’s men firmly in second position.
Liverpool picked up a hard-earned 1-0 victory against Sunderland at the Stadium of Light to enhance their top-four ambitions. The sides went into halftime level, but Virgil van Dijk’s effort in the 61st minute separated them. Arne Slot’s team then saw out the remainder of the match to secure maximum points.
Aston Villa also claimed a narrow 1-0 win over Brighton at Villa Park in a closely fought encounter. Clear opportunities were limited, and the decisive moment arrived late through an own goal, allowing Villa to climb higher while Brighton left empty-handed.
At the City Ground, Nottingham Forest were forced to settle for a goalless draw with Wolves. Despite controlling large spells and carving out openings, Forest failed to convert their chances and remain just three points above the relegation zone. Wolves, although still bottom, will take encouragement from earning a point on the road.
In another entertaining contest, Burnley defeated Crystal Palace 3-2 in a dramatic encounter. The result provides a timely boost for Burnley as they continue their battle to move clear of the drop places.
