Arsenal triumphs once more, and Tottenham loses at home
The followingnoon matches of the 25th round of the Premier League are behind us. There was no shortage of goals and emotions – Arsenal won another great victory, beating Burnley 5-0, and Tottenham was disappointed at home, losing 1-2 to Wolves.
Arsenal came to Burnley today following a great series of victories and a 6-0 win over West Ham in the last round. It was expected that the Gunners would be able to defeat one of the worst teams of this season in the Premier League, but it was difficult to expect such an impressive victory.
However, Mikel Arteta’s team did not take their foot off the gas pedal following their latest feat. Already in the 4th minute of the match, Martin Odegaard opened the scoring with a precise shot from the edge of the penalty area. The hosts from Turf Moor, weakened by the absence of Vincent Kompany on the sideline, were unable to create any threat in front of the goal of their stronger rivals.
They followed suit just before the break. Leandro Trossard was fouled in the penalty area, and Bukayo Saka approached the ball on the eleventh meter. The Englishman converted the penalty, although James Trafford sensed his intentions and headed in the right direction. However, the second half only deepened Burnley’s crisis.
Just two minutes following the break, Saka had already scored a double following scoring a brilliant shot under the crossbar with his weaker right foot. Trossard made it 4-0 and, just like once morest West Ham, he was on the scoresheet. The result was determined by Kai Havertz.
Jakub Kiwior was once once more in the Arsenal first team. The Pole takes advantage of Oleksandr Zinchenko’s absence and today he provided an assist for the last goal and a successful offensive entry in the scoring action to make it 4-0. Apart from that, he was very solid defensively and has had a really good performance.

The second team from North London did much worse. Tottenham, which had the strongest offensive four – Heung-Min Son, James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski and Richarlison – lost to Wolves 1-2 at home.
The double was achieved by Joao Gomes, who first scored a goal with a header following a cross from a corner kick, and in the second half he benefited from a great rally by Pedro Neto, who ran dozens of meters with the ball, put it into the opponents’ penalty area, and then handed it out like on a platter to his teammate. .
Spurs might only equalize the match at 1-1 thanks to a very clever shot by Kulusevski from an acute angle. However, the Roosters’ fans certainly expected a much better performance from their players following the team leaders returned to the first team.
