Main PagePremier League With Steve Dede: 5 things we learnt from this weekend games
These are five things we learnt from the games played on matchday 11 of the Premier League.
It was matchday 11 of the Premier League this weekend that had some big games and results.
These are five things we learnt from the games.
1. Manchester City are Premier League's best (Manchester City 3 Vs 1 Arsenal)
Manchester City continued their dominance in the Premier League with a 3-1 win over Arsenal. They are currently the best team in England and there is no debating this at this moment.
Their slick passing, possession and relentless marking, there is no stopping Pep Guardiola’s men.
2. Arsenal don’t need Sanchez and Ozil (Manchester City 3 Vs 1 Arsenal)

Arsenal showed enough fight against Manchester City and were very unlucky with some questionable decisions by the referee. What Arsene Wenger didn’t have against Manchester City were those special players to turn the tides in his team’s favour. This is what Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil were supposed to be doing for Arsenal but they were poor again.
If they can't step up in games like this, then Arsenal don’t need them.
3. Kante changes everything for Chelsea (Chelsea 1 Vs 0 Manchester United)

N'Golo Kante returned to Chelsea’s starting XI to show everyone why he has been the best player in the Premier League for the past two seasons.
With Kante, Chelsea put their recent struggles behind them to put in a very dominant display to beat Manchester United. The Frenchman provided the base in midfielder for Tiemoue Bakayoko to trouble Manchester United with his rampaging runs, while Cesc Fabregas was back to his passing best with the freedom that Kante's presence brings.
Kante changes everything for Chelsea and his fitness will play a huge role in how their season goes.
4. Mourinho not special anymore (Chelsea 1 Vs 0 Manchester United)
Jose Mourinho made his name as one of the best in the business with his stanch management of big games. But since taking over at Manchester United, Mourinho’s side have been either super defensive or torn apart away at the big six. He calls himself the special one, but at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, Manchester United were far from special.
5. Tottenham showing strength: Tottenham 1 Vs 0 Crystal Palace
A fatigued Tottenham dug deep to grab a 1-0 win, showing immense strength and character that is only shown by the top teams. After their famous win against Real Madrid in the Champions League in midweek, Tottenham without Dele Alli and a recovering Harry Kane managed to get the win.
