In the 25th round of the English Premier League, a series of matches concluded, and the round presented a very productive, goal-rich scene for the fans. At a time when the competition for top spots in the leading English Premier League was intensifying, some teams were able to speak their minds, while others lost important points.
Arsenal win convincingly in London

Conclusion
This round showed one thing once again: in the above-mentioned teams, "one moment" decides everything - "Arsenal" maintains stability, while "Chelsea" can turn on an unstoppable mode when scoring goals. For teams like Aston Villa, however, draws are sometimes beneficial, and sometimes a regrettable outcome. Now the schedule will get even hotter in the next round - because in the EPL, there's usually no such thing as a "quiet week."
