OLIVER HOLT AT THE EMIRATES: Arsenal celebrated St Totteringham's Day on Sunday. This year‚ it barely registered. The day in each season when it becomes mathematically impossible for Spurs to finish above their North London rivals came earlier than ever but no one at The Emirates cares too much about parochial squabbles this spring. There are bigger prizes on the line. All that mattered on this Sunday in Islington was beating Chelsea and restoring the five-point lead over Manchester City at the top of the Premier League as the title run-in starts in earnest. Arsenal were made to sweat for this 2-1 victory but their brilliance from set-pieces got the job done.

NATHAN SALT: Some of the snap takeaways from Michael Carrick's succession of Ruben Amorim include that Manchester United can win matches in some style‚ the academy's importance has been underscored by Carrick and his staff‚ and it's still really hard to win five in a row so a fan in Spain can cut his hair. Carrick is six games into his return to the club and his record stands at five wins and one draw‚ with only West Ham United preventing a 100 per cent win rate. Some of those wins have been emphatic‚ namely Manchester City at home. Others have been more fortunate‚ such as Fulham at home and Everton away. There has been plenty to glean from the half-dozen games under Carrick's watch this season‚ from a shift in transfer market strategy to two players experiencing different levels of fortune.

New rules aimed at tackling time-wasting will come into force for this summer's World Cup and could bring an end to the long-throw trend in the Premier League. The measures‚ approved by football lawmaker The International Football Association Board (IFAB)‚ will see the introduction of a countdown clock to apply to goal kicks and throw-ins. If a referee believes a throw-in or goal kick is taking too long or is being deliberately delayed‚ a five-second visual countdown will begin.

TOM COLLOMOSSE: The fans can sense it. So can the players and certainly Unai Emery too. After losing to a Wolves side who had won only one of their previous 32 Premier League matches‚ Aston Villa can feel a Champions League place slipping through their fingers for a second season in succession. It is not yet time to panic. With five clubs set to qualify for Europe's major club competition‚ Villa still headed into the weekend with a six-point cushion to Liverpool in sixth. They are also favourites for the Europa League‚ which guarantees safe passage to the Champions League.

Can anyone even remember the score from the first leg? Real Madrid and Benfica lock horns again tonight but football is the furthest thing from everyone's mind. Real are in fact 1-0 up but Vinicius Jr's goal and any sporting narrative has been obliterated in the last week after the storm of controversy surrounding the tie. It was the Brazilian who found himself at the centre of the fallout after he said he was subjected to racist abuse from Benfica star Gianluca Prestianni‚ a claim backed up by team-mates - with Kylian Mbappe insisting he heard a monkey slur five times.

Benjamin Sesko's super sub role continued with aplomb here as he came off the bench to secure all three points for Manchester United at Everton. The Slovenian's second half goal means that Michael Carrick's unbeaten run as coach‚ since coming in to replace Ruben Amorim‚ stretches to six games‚ with five wins and a draw. Everton did plenty of good work in this less-than-thrilling 1-0 defeat but David Moyes was let down by his side's lack of creativity in attack.
