There are some very happy Arsenal fans around the world today as they took one huge step to winning the Premier League title.

0:46.3

In the early game, they'd be Everton by two goals to nil. They left it late and it saw 16-year-old Max Dowman become the youngest ever goal scorer in the history of the Premier League as they'd be Everton 2-0 and then straight after that it was West Ham against Manchester City.
