The goal rush was heavy at the Etihad Stadium where Manchester City hosted Bournemouth. It was expected that the EPL reigning champions would beat the struggling Bournemouth but not with a 6-1 scoreline.
Goals from Jérémy Doku, Bernardo Silva, and Manuel Akanji gave Manchester City a 3-0 lead in the first half. Silva scored another goal in the second half. Also, Phil Foden and Nathan Aké added one each to seal the 6-1 victory as Luis Sinisterra’s 74th-minute strike was just a consolation for the visitors.
Phil Foden of Manchester City celebrates.
At Goodison Park, Everton ensured that Brighton didn’t leave with a maximum of three points after giving up an early lead to record a 1-1 draw. Vitaliy Mykolenko gave the lead in the 7th minute but they couldn’t hold on to it as Everton’s Ashley Young scored an own goal to gift their visitors the equalizer.
It was drama at Bramall Lane as Sheffield United scored a penalty in the 10th minute of additional time to grab a rare 2-1 EPL win over their visitors, Wolves.
Cameron Archer scored the opener for the hosts in the first half and the visitors grabbed the equalizer in the 89th minute via Jean-Ricner Bellegarde’s strike.
When Wolves fans thought they would leave Bramall Lane with a draw, frustrated Fábio Silva decided to kick the leg of George Baldock in the penalty box in additional time and earned the hosts a penalty which Oliver Norwood converted to grab the unexpected EPL victory.
Crystal Palace were the only side that recorded an away win this afternoon apart from Manchester United as they beat Burnley 2-0 at Turf Moor.
The first first-half goal from Jeffrey Schlupp and second half goal from Tyrick Mitchell were what the visitors needed for the maximum three points.
At the Gtech Community Stadium, it was rain of goals from both ends as Brentford beat their visitors, West Ham United 3-2.
Neal Maupay opened the scoring for the hosts in the 11th minute but
Mohammed Kudus led what looked like a comeback when he scored the equalizer in the 19th minute. Jarrod Bowen gave the visitors the lead in the 26th minute.
West Ham United went into the first-half break with a 2-1 lead but the music changed in the second half courtesy of their player, Konstantinos Mavropanos who scored an own goal in the 55th minute.

We have some good news. Several key <a href="https://www.mtlblog.com/quebec-cra-payment-dates-calendar-2025" target="_blank">federal benefits for Quebecers</a> are getting a boost for 2025, which means more cash in your pocket from the government if you qualify. </p><p>From child benefits to pension payments and tax credits, these recurring benefit payments are set to increase as part of the federal government's yearly inflation adjustments.</p><p>The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) reviews inflation annually, and <a href="https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/tax/individuals/frequently-asked-questions-individuals/adjustment-personal-income-tax-benefit-amounts.html" target="_blank">this year's bump is 2.7%</a>. That may not sound like much, but every little bit helps when it comes to battling the rising cost of living.</p><p>This list focuses on recurring <a href="https://www.mtlblog.com/tag/government-payments" target="_blank">government payments</a> — the kind you receive throughout the year, not lump-sum tax credits (of which there are even more getting a boost). </p><p>Here's what's changing for 2025 and how much more you could be getting in those recurring payments starting as early as this month.</p><h3>GST/HST Credit</h3><br/><p>The <a href="https://www.mtlblog.com/gst-hst-credit-increase-2025" target="_blank">GST/HST Credit</a> is a tax-free quarterly payment that helps low- and modest-income Canadians offset the sales taxes they've paid. It's calculated based on your family's net income and the number of children you have.</p><p>For 2025, the maximum payment for single adults is increasing to <strong>$533</strong>, up from $519 in 2024. Couples can receive up to <strong>$698</strong>, with an additional <strong>$184</strong> per child. For a family of four, that means up to <strong>$1,066</strong> annually or <strong>$266.50</strong> every three months.</p><p>The income thresholds are also rising slightly, with the phase-out threshold now starting at <strong>$45,521</strong> — so more people may qualify (or, at least, if you got a cost-of-living raise equal to the inflation rate of 2.7%, your eligibility shouldn't be affected). </p><p>These new amounts kick in starting with the new benefit year in July 2025, and your amounts and eligibility will be based on your 2024 tax return.</p><h3>Canada Child Benefit</h3><br/><p>The <a href="https://www.mtlblog.com/canada-child-benefit-increase-2025" target="_blank">Canada Child Benefit</a> (CCB) is a tax-free monthly payment designed to help parents and guardians with the cost of raising kids under 18. It's based on your adjusted family net income (AFNI), the number of children in your household and their ages.</p><p>For 2025, the maximum annual CCB amount is increasing to <strong>$7,997</strong> for kids under six and <strong>$6,748</strong> for children aged 6 to 17. That's a boost of $210 and $178 respectively compared to last year. Payments will reflect the higher amounts starting in July 2025, based on your 2024 tax return.</p><p>The AFNI phase-out thresholds are also rising, meaning more families could qualify for the maximum or see smaller reductions.</p><h3>Child Disability Benefit</h3><br/><p>If you're caring for a child under 18 with a severe and prolonged disability, the Child Disability Benefit (CDB) offers extra, tax-free financial support. It's paid alongside the Canada Child Benefit and is calculated based on your adjusted family net income and number of eligible children.</p><p>For 2025, the maximum annual CDB amount is increasing to <strong data-redactor-tag="strong" data-verified="redactor">$3,411</strong> per child, up from $3,322 last year. The income threshold where payments start to phase out is also rising to <strong data-redactor-tag="strong" data-verified="redactor">$81,222</strong> (from $79,087).</p><p>The new amounts will take effect with the July 2025 payment, based on your 2024 tax return.</p><h3>Canada Workers Benefit</h3><br/><p>The <a href="https://www.mtlblog.com/tag/canada-workers-benefit" target="_blank">Canada Workers Benefit</a> (CWB) is a refundable tax credit designed to support Canadians who are working but earning a low income. It includes a basic amount and a disability supplement, with eligibility based on your income and family situation.</p><p>In 2025, you'll actually see a bigger increase in your payments than 2.7%. That's because the yearly CWB increase corresponds with the new tax year rather than the new benefit year, meaning this year's bump will actually reflect last year's inflation increase, which was higher!</p><p>For the 2024 tax year in Quebec, single individuals can receive up to <strong>$3,705.38</strong> (up from $3,521.87 last year), while couples can get as much as <strong>$5,778.52</strong> (up from $5,494.27). If you're eligible for the disability supplement, that amount will rise to <strong>$827.72</strong>, compared to $787.70 last year.</p><p>The income thresholds are also going up, ensuring beneficiaries don't lose out if their income grows with inflation. For example, single individuals with no kids will now phase out completely at <strong>$32,356.72</strong>, and couples without kids at <strong>$50,150.04</strong>. These changes take effect with your 2024 tax return and the advanced payment cycle beginning in July 2025.</p><h3>Old Age Security</h3><br/><p>The <a href="https://www.mtlblog.com/tag/old-age-security" target="_blank">Old Age Security</a> (OAS) pension provides a monthly payment for Canadians aged 65 and older, regardless of employment history. It's reviewed quarterly — in January, April, July and October — to reflect changes in the cost of living. Payments won't decrease even if inflation slows.</p><p>For January 2025, the maximum monthly amounts remain at <strong>$727.67</strong> for those aged 65 to 74 and <strong>$800.44</strong> for those 75 and over. While there's no guarantee of an increase in 2025, quarterly reviews often lead to adjustments, so keep an eye out for those later in the year.</p><p>On the bright side, the income threshold for repayment is increasing to <strong>$93,454</strong> for 2025, up from $90,997. This means more retirees can keep the full amount of their pension.</p><h3>Veteran Disability Pension</h3><br/><p>The Veteran Disability Pension provides lifetime monthly payments to veterans with service-related disabilities. Eligible recipients include veterans of the Canadian Armed Forces, some members of the RCMP and certain civilians who served in the Second World War.</p><p>For 2025, the maximum monthly payment for veterans with the highest disability rating (Class 1) has increased to <strong>$3,444.59</strong>, up from $3,357.30 in 2024. The other disability classes and additional monthly amounts for dependents have also risen at the same rate.</p><p>These updated amounts are taking effect starting with the January 2025 payment, ensuring benefits keep pace with inflation and better support veterans and their families.</p><p><em>Love this?
