Arsenal's Gyokeres shines, Chelsea struggles continue

Arsenal's Viktor Gyokeres reached a milestone of 10 Premier League goals with a brace against Tottenham, contributing to a dominant 4-1 victory. His performance highlighted his pressing intensity, leading to the team winning possession in the final third 19 times.

Meanwhile, Chelsea's inconsistent season continued. Despite sitting fourth, they drew with Burnley after receiving their sixth red card of the season, more than any other Premier League side. Their set-piece statistics remain a concern, with high goals scored but also high expected goals conceded.

Late goals have been a recurring theme, with Liverpool securing their seventh stoppage-time winner. However, they have also conceded six times in added time, more than any other team. Across the league, 25 stoppage-time winners have occurred this season, surpassing previous campaigns.

West Ham United rued missed opportunities in a goalless draw against Bournemouth, failing to convert 3.27 expected goals. Despite being the form side in the relegation battle, they have dropped vital points from winning positions. Manchester City demonstrated their enhanced counter-attacking threat in a 2-1 win over Newcastle, showcasing efficient breaks to complement their patient possession game.
