Premier League 2025-26: A Season of Drama in 100 Photos

The Premier League 2025-26 season has been captured in a stunning collection of 100 photos, showcasing wild celebrations, fan protests, and goalmouth scrambles. Reigning champions Liverpool began their title defence with a dramatic 4-2 victory over Bournemouth at Anfield, following the death of Diogo Jota. Late goals defined the campaign, with Gabriel Martinelli scoring a stoppage-time equaliser for Arsenal against Manchester City, and Gabriel Magalhães heading a 96th-minute winner against Newcastle.

Managerial changes were frequent. Ange Postecoglou was sacked by Nottingham Forest just 19 minutes after a 3-0 defeat to Chelsea, having replaced Nuno Espírito Santo only 40 days earlier. Chelsea parted company with Enzo Maresca on New Year's Day, with Liam Rosenior taking over briefly. Ruben Amorim's tenure at Manchester United ended after a 1-1 draw with Leeds, leading to Michael Carrick's interim appointment, who promptly beat Manchester City and Arsenal.

Controversy erupted when Everton's Idrissa Gueye slapped teammate Michael Keane during a 1-0 win at Manchester United, earning a red card and later apologising. Mohamed Salah accused Liverpool of throwing him 'under the bus' after being left out of the starting lineup for the third consecutive game. Erling Haaland became the fastest player to reach 100 Premier League goals, while Tyler Adams scored from the centre circle for Bournemouth.

At the bottom, Burnley beat Wolves with a 95th-minute winner, prompting an angry reaction from Wolves fans towards manager Vítor Pereira. The season also saw Sunderland make a strong return to the top flight, moving into the top four after a 2-1 win at Chelsea.
