Premier League Action
The Premier League gave us plenty of drama this month. Wolves were on fire, chalking up their sixth straight win with a 3‑0 drubbing of Leicester City. The result also meant Leicester set an unwanted record by conceding the first goal for the 29th time this season – a stat no club wants to brag about.
Wolves kept the momentum alive when they turned the tables on Ipswich Town at Portman Road. A late surge, highlighted by Pablo Sarabia’s impact off the bench, secured a 2‑1 win and left Ipswich still fighting for survival, now 12 points adrift of safety.
Meanwhile, in Spain, Las Palmas pulled an outright stunner against Atlético Madrid. Javi Muñoz’s 93rd‑minute strike snatched a 1‑0 victory, denting Atlético’s title hopes and giving Las Palmas a much‑needed boost away from the relegation zone.
And perhaps the biggest headline of the month came from Manchester City. After ten years and 16 trophies, Kevin De Bruyne announced his exit. The midfielder’s departure was reportedly initiated by the club, sparking rumors about moves to Saudi Arabia or MLS. Pep Guardiola praised De Bruyne’s professionalism and even hinted at a future statue in his honor.
