Arsenal was motivated by Leandro Trossard as they regained a five-point advantage over the competition.

Erling Haaland is still hoping that Manchester City may overtake Arsenal, while Liverpool is starting over following a humiliating loss at Bournemouth.

Below are three lessons this weekend's Premier League taught us:

Trossard Is Already Inexpensive For Arsenal

Leandro Trossard's purchase for £21 million ($25 million) will end up being one of the season's best deals if Arsenal wins their first Premier League championship since 2004.

With his three assists on Sunday in Arsenal's 3-0 victory over Fulham, Mikel Arteta has made a wise choice in signing Trossard.

As an enormous last-minute offer from Chelsea supplanted their attempt for Mykhailo Mudryk of Shakhtar Donetsk, Arsenal only swooped for the Belgian attacker.

While Mudryk is still getting used to playing in the Premier League, Trossard has quickly adapted to life at Arsenal after playing for Brighton for four years. His three assists on Sunday helped Fulham win 3-0.

The 28-year-old's recent display of originality and intellect allowed the Gunners to win their fifth straight league game and inch closer to the championship.

With 11 games remaining, Arsenal leads second-place Manchester City by five points, and Trossard was glad to contribute.

Defiant Haaland Expects City Charge

Erling Haaland has forewarned Arsenal that Manchester City still thinks they can win a fifth Premier League championship in the previous six years.

On Saturday, Haaland converted a second-half penalty to earn a tenacious 1-0 victory at Crystal Palace, briefly pulling the champions to within two points of Arsenal.

Less than 24 hours later, Arsenal restored a five-point lead, but the City striker is confident there will be more twists and turns before the title race ends.

On April 26, Pep Guardiola's team will play a pivotal match against Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium.

And Haaland is committed to making sure his first season in English football, which has seen the Norwegian score 34 goals across all competitions, come to a successful conclusion.

Questioned Hunger In Liverpool

Trent Alexander-Arnold acknowledged that Liverpool's dreadful 1-0 loss to lowly Bournemouth on Saturday resulted from their lack of motivation.

Following the Reds' historic 7-0 thrashing of archrivals Manchester United last weekend, Philip Billing's first-half goal brought Liverpool back to earth.

To add to Liverpool's anguish against a team that started the day at the bottom of the table, Mohamed Salah missed a penalty in the second half.

Tottenham is in fourth position, six points ahead of Jurgen Klopp's team in sixth. Right-back Alexander-Arnold was concerned with Liverpool's sluggish approach to a crucial match.

"Everyone knows what they are fighting for at this point in the season, and Bournemouth are undoubtedly involved in a relegation battle", he added.

"They are battling for their lives. However, there is a battle going on for every team in the league".

After more consideration, they probably wanted it more than we did. That is unacceptable, and we must ensure that something similar doesn't occur again."
