The honeymoon phase is officially over before it even began.8) Villa stutter once moreUnai Emery's Aston Villa have stumbled at the worst possible moment.A shocking defeat to rock-bottom Wolves, only the hosts' second league win of the entire season, has severely dented Villa's Champions League aspirations.With United moving up to third and Liverpool closing the gap, Villa desperately need to find their second wind before the season slips away.9) Raya's moment of magicWhile Arsenal's set-pieces grabbed the Sunday headlines, David Rayas heroics between the sticks are what truly kept their title charge intact.The Spanish keeper pulled off a heart-stopping, reflex save deep in stoppage time to deny a 10-man Chelsea a late equaliser.Come May, Arsenal fans may look back at that single save as the defining moment the title was won.10) The weird Sunday quirkIn a fascinating piece of Premier League trivia, all four matches played this Sunday finished with the exact same 2-1 scoreline (Arsenal over Chelsea, Man Utd over Palace, Fulham over Spurs, and Brighton over Nottingham Forest).It marks the first time in top-flight history that a day featuring four or more games has ended with identical scorelines across the board.Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter
