Over the weekend, teams competed in games from week 29, with varying outcomes for each side. Some had poor results, while others were successful. Manchester United, Chelsea, and Liverpool were the top teams that suffered defeats over the weekend.
Aston Villa defeated Chelsea 2:1 at home, Newcastle defeated Manchester United 2:1 away, and Liverpool was beaten 4:1 by Manchester City 2:1 away. On the other side, Arsenal defeated Leeds decisively at home, 4:1. The team of the week analysis is provided below.
The victory versus Leeds was the result of two goals from Gabriel Jesus. The Arsenal player was in excellent form after winning a penalty that he later converted. He then added another goal thanks to a helper from Leandro Trossard. For his work, he was given the man-of-the-match trophy.
In the 2:0 triumph over Chelsea at home, Ollie Watkins scored the game's first goal. A tenacious team gave a tremendous performance to defeat a disorganized Chelsea team. Manchester City's Jack Grealish scored against Liverpool and was given the game's MVP award. He was a complete phenomenon in the 4:1 victory in the early kickoff match.
With Gundogan, who also scored against Liverpool, Kevin De Bruyne also contributed a goal. Despite the eight-point gap, the Cityzens are still in contention for the EPL, and neither team can afford any mistakes now. In the 4:1 victory, Granit Xhaka scored the last goal for Arsenal.
He ended the game with an exquisite header. Ben White was the other scorer, who also scored soon before the international break. He discovered his scoring touch while playing for Arsenal in the Premier League.
With West Ham, Nayef Aguerd scored a goal and shut out Southampton at home, winning 1:0. Aston Villa's Tyrone Mings performed admirably defensively and kept a clean sheet in their 2:0 victory over Chelsea.
In their game against Manchester United, who had defeated them a month earlier in the Carabao Cup final, Kieran Trippier provided an assist and maintained a clean sheet. Nick Pope, who has the spotless sheets this year among goalies, gets the goalkeeper of the week after keeping a clean sheet against a top team.
