Sports and Yandex Market continue the most textured series of the year. After each Premier League round, we highlight the brightest, most unexpected events, stats, and fun details. That way, you won’t miss any notable moments or interesting finds.
This is the 36th installment of “Interesting Stuff.” The previous one is available here.
**Raya’s Save – Like That Ortega Stop?**
David Raya denied Manuel Fernandes from point-blank range. This is exactly what the save of the season looks like:
In terms of importance and impact on the storyline, this save closely resembles Stefan Ortega’s stop against Tottenham (2023/24 season). City held on then and eventually became champions.
Signs?
**Raya Wins Third Consecutive Golden Glove**
By keeping a clean sheet against West Ham, Raya not only brought Arsenal closer to the title but also clinched the Golden Glove award. The prize goes to the goalkeeper with the most clean sheets in a Premier League season.
Raya now has 18 clean sheets.
There was a chance Gianluigi Donnarumma (14 clean sheets with three games left) could catch up, which would have forced a shared award.
Raya has now won the Golden Glove for the third straight season. The Arsenal keeper matched the achievements of Pepe Reina, Joe Hart, and Ederson.
**Trossard Didn’t Score for 25 Games Before Likely Title-Winning Goal Against West Ham**
This was Leandro Trossard’s first goal in 2026. And the most important one.
Until the 82nd minute, Arsenal couldn’t break through West Ham and faced a few moments where everything could have collapsed. Even a draw would have given Manchester City an advantage.
Then Trossard stepped up.
Throughout the season, the Belgian occasionally dropped out of the starting lineup, competing with Gabriel Martinelli. But in the decisive stretch, Trossard has been a clear starter. It was his shot in the Champions League semi-final against Atletico that Bukayo Saka tapped into the net.
Hollywood actress Anne Hathaway has chosen a good player as her favorite.
Between these photos – a VAR disallowed late West Ham goal.
Arsenal fans will remember these moments as the most tense of the season.
And these as the biggest relief of their football lives.
**Pep Had So Much Faith in West Ham**
The Manchester City manager entertained everyone by crossing his arms like the hammers from West Ham’s emblem, shouting “Come on, Irons!” before walking off his press conference.
It almost worked: West Ham came very, very close to slowing Arsenal down.
**Schade of Brentford Thought City Players Wouldn’t Notice Him**
And he might have been right. Schade was so engrossed that he even turned his head with the City players when Bernardo pointed somewhere.
**Bournemouth Unbeaten in 16 Matches. Only Bayern and Milan Have Longer Runs in Top Leagues**
Bournemouth’s unbeaten streak grows every week. Now at 16 games. Their last Premier League defeat was in a previous life – specifically, on January 3 against Arsenal (2-3).
Bournemouth: 16 matches in a league where everyone wants to beat you.
To make it even more impressive: in top leagues this season, only Bayern Munich (18 matches) and AC Milan (24) have gone longer without defeat.
**Emi Martinez – Third Goalkeeper This Season with an Assist**
In the game against Burnley (2-2), Martinez launched a long pass from his own box to set up Ollie Watkins. The forward didn’t miss.
Before Martinez, West Ham’s Alphonse Areola and Chelsea’s Robert Sanchez had provided assists this Premier League season.
**Brighton Dedicated Win to Club Employee’s Son Who Underwent Brain Surgery**
Brighton easily dispatched Wolves 3-0 at home. They dedicated the victory to six-year-old Alfie, the son of the kit man. The boy is recovering after surgery to remove a brain tumor.
Captain Lewis Dunk celebrated a goal by forming an “A” with his fingers. There were also shirts with messages saying “We’re with you, Alfie.”
**Wolves Have Lost to All 19 Teams. A Dreadful Record Matched**
Wolverhampton’s absolute anti-achievement is missing one thing: in the 2023/24 season, they lost to all 19 opponents.
