The Premier League made its return this past weekend, delivering the excitement and drama that fans have come to expect. Aston Villa and Crystal Palace both staged incredible comebacks, while Arsenal and Tottenham battled it out in a fierce north London derby. And of course, Erling Haaland continued his goal-scoring spree.
So what can we learn from these results? Well, here are four things that stood out to us at 90min.
Firstly, it’s clear that Everton’s days in the top flight may be numbered. After losing their fourth game in a row, despite holding a 2-0 lead against Aston Villa, it’s evident that the club is struggling. This could have been avoided if they had strengthened their squad during the summer transfer window.
Secondly, Jhon Duran has been a revelation for Aston Villa. Despite starting just three Premier League games last season, he has already scored three goals in just 103 minutes of play this season. His performance against Everton was particularly impressive and included an early contender for goal of the season.
Thirdly, Jadon Sancho seems to be finding his form again after joining Chelsea on loan. His appearance off the bench completely changed the game against Bournemouth as he not only caused problems with his dribbling but also provided an assist for Christopher Nkunku’s winning goal.
Lastly, Arsenal showed great resilience in their victory over Tottenham. Despite dealing with numerous injuries, they were able to hold off an attacking Spurs side and secure all three points. This demonstrates their growth as a team and their ability to win even when not playing at their best.
it was an exciting weekend of Premier League action with plenty of talking points.
