Would Arsenal win it and kick nine clear of the second-placed Blues? Or would this young Chelsea side take victory, close the gap to three and emerge as genuine title contenders. In the end it was "as you were', the game ending in a 1-1 draw to keep Arsenal six clear of their London rivals. But the fact that Chelsea grabbed a point when playing all of the second half with just 10 men after Moises Caicedo's 38th-minute red card meant Enzo Maresca's men emerged with plenty of credit. The same could be said of Leeds after their last-gasp loss at Manchester City. With the hosts 2-0 up after just 25 minutes, many feared the worst for Daniel Farke's side.

After Democratic businessman Stephen Cloobeck " who was polling at below half a percent " dropped out of the race and endorsed Rep. Eric Swalwell on Monday, at least 10 candidates remain. Voters are hardly to blame if the names don't ring a bell. Though it's wound on for more than a year now, the 2026 governor's race remains unexpectedly wide open. In one poll released last month, 44% of surveyed voters did not have a preference for governor and no candidate polled above 15%. The primary election is next June. Here's a look at the field right now: If former Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra was looking for attention for his campaign, he found it in the form of negative headlines. Becerra was California's first…...
