As I sit here scrolling through the latest EPL results, I can’t help but feel that rush of excitement that only football brings. This weekend delivered some truly unforgettable moments, and honestly, I think a few of these matches are going to be talked about for a long time. The drama, the upsets, the sheer brilliance on display—it’s what makes the Premier League the most captivating league in the world. I’ve been following football for over 15 years, and even now, it never fails to surprise me. Let’s dive right into the action, because if you missed any of it, you’ll want to catch up immediately.

First up, Manchester City’s clash with Liverpool was nothing short of a masterclass. I’ve always admired Pep Guardiola’s tactical genius, but what stood out to me in this match was how City’s midfield controlled the game from start to finish. Kevin De Bruyne, in my opinion, is playing at a level we haven’t seen since his 2019-20 season. He completed 92% of his passes and created at least four clear chances, though I’d argue it felt like even more watching live. On the other side, Liverpool’s resilience was impressive, but they just couldn’t break through City’s organized defense. I’ve noticed that when these two giants meet, it often comes down to who makes the fewest mistakes, and this time, City’s discipline shone through. The 2-1 scoreline might suggest a close contest, but from where I was sitting, City looked comfortably in control for large stretches.

Then there was the North London Derby between Arsenal and Tottenham. Wow. If you’re like me and you love high-intensity, end-to-end football, this was the match to watch. Arsenal’s young squad showed so much character, especially Bukayo Saka, who I believe is one of the most exciting talents in the league right now. He scored a stunning goal in the 38th minute—cutting in from the right and curling it into the top corner—a move we’ve seen him perfect over the last two seasons. Tottenham, to their credit, fought back fiercely, and Son Heung-min’s equalizer was pure class. But what struck me was how Arsenal’s defense held firm under pressure in the final minutes. I’ve always felt that derbies like this reveal a team’s true spirit, and Arsenal, in my view, proved they’re genuine title contenders this year.

Elsewhere, Chelsea’s match against Aston Villa had its own share of drama. I’ll be honest—I didn’t expect Villa to put up such a fight. Ollie Watkins was absolutely phenomenal, scoring twice and causing chaos in Chelsea’s backline. On the other hand, Chelsea’s new signing, let’s call him “Heading” for now, reminded me of that quote from basketball: "Now that he’s in the PBA, and facing Cone and the Kings over the weekend, Heading said meeting is not going to be his way of proving himself before the eyes of Cone." In football terms, it’s like when a player joins a top club and everyone expects them to deliver instantly, but sometimes, it’s not about one grand performance—it’s about consistency. Heading, in this case, didn’t score, but his work rate and positioning were spot-on. I think he’s building his case quietly, and in a few months, we’ll look back at games like this as turning points.

As for the other results, Manchester United’s 3-0 win over Everton was a statement, in my opinion. Bruno Fernandes was back to his creative best, and United’s pressing was relentless. I’ve criticized them at times this season for being too passive, but this was a refreshing change. Meanwhile, Newcastle’s 1-1 draw with Brighton might not seem thrilling on paper, but the intensity was there—Newcastle’s goalkeeper made at least five crucial saves, and honestly, they were lucky to come away with a point. Looking at the table now, the top four race is tighter than ever, with just 6 points separating 3rd and 7th place. From my perspective, this is where the real battle is, and every match feels like a final.

In conclusion, this weekend’s EPL action was a reminder of why I fell in love with football. The highs, the lows, the individual brilliance—it’s all there. If I had to pick one takeaway, it’s that the league is more unpredictable than ever, and that’s what keeps us coming back. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or a casual viewer, these are the moments that define seasons. I can’t wait to see what next weekend brings, and I’ll be right here, breaking it all down for you.
