Five Things We Learned from Gameweek 21

Gameweek 21 showed that the Premier League story isn’t always in the scorelines. Some teams impressed more than the results show, others revealed problems, and a few moments could change the season.

Here are five things we learned from gameweek 21 in the Premier League.

Manchester United played better than the score suggests

Drawing with Burnley might look bad, but United actually controlled much of the game. Bruno Fernandes was creative, Kobbie Mainoo returned, and Benjamin Sesko is improving. It shows the team has a solid base and is closer to competing than the table shows

Manchester City are struggling to score

Three draws in a row have given Arsenal the edge in the title race. Guardiola admitted that City are creating chances but not finishing them. If they don’t fix this soon, the title could slip away.

Newcastle may be picking up form

Harvey Barnes’ late winner against Leeds was dramatic and could be a big boost for the team. Three straight wins and a rise to sixth give Newcastle new confidence and momentum for the rest of the season.

Chelsea need to get their discipline under control

Another red card in the loss to Fulham showed that Chelsea is still emotional and struggles to control games. New manager Liam Rosenior has a big job to get the team more focused if they want to compete at the top.

Arsenal and Brentford show different stories

Arsenal may be feeling the pressure after struggling to break down Liverpool, though they kept a six-point lead on Man City. Brentford continue to exceed expectations under Keith Andrews, with Igor Thiago breaking records and the team sitting fifth despite losing key players.
