Arsenal extend Premier League lead despite drawing blank at Forest
NOTTINGHAM, United Kingdom, Jan 18, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Arsenal opened up a seven-point Premier League lead despite failing to break down a resilient Nottingham Forest in a 0-0 draw at the City Ground on Saturday. Arsenal were made to pay for a lacklustre first half performance as Forest held out to boost their own chances of survival. City have failed to apply any pressure to Arsenal during a four-game winless Premier League run since the turn of the year. But back-to-back goalless draws against Liverpool and Forest has prevented Arsenal from building a big lead. Merino should have scored but could not turn Rice's inviting free-kick delivery on target.

Lens hold off Auxerre to retake top spot from PSG
LENS, France, Jan 18, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Lens returned to the top of Ligue 1 with a battling 1-0 win over lowly Auxerre on Saturday. Entering a match not at the summit of the standings for the first time since the beginning of December, Lens started in cagey fashion. Lens coach Sage later regretted his surprise league leaders' recent tendency to start matches in a sluggish manner. Whatever Sage said to his charges at half-time worked as Lens came out more forceful in the second period and only heroic last-ditch defending kept Said and Matthieu Udol at bay. But ultimately Lens were not made to pay for their wastefulness as they kept Auxerre at arm's length to ensure a 14th victory of the campaign.

Lampard relieved by promotion-chasing Coventry's 'massive' win
Lampard admitted it was a much-needed result after a run of just two victories in their previous eight games. Jack Taylor notched the second goal for Kieran McKenna's side eight minutes later and former Blackburn striker Sam Szmodics completed the victory in the 88th minute. "I think it was a good performance, a good result and a good step for us," McKenna said. "At this stage of the season, winning is obviously the most important thing, but how you win does matter," Neil said. "We talk a lot about doing the hard yards and sometimes at this level you can beat teams through persistence and put the effort in that maybe other teams won't."
