Am I the only one who was surprised with the results of today's games in the English Premier League? Crystal Palace after going 2 goals up were stunned by Manchester City at the end with the reigning English champions scoring 5 goals to thrash the Eagles. Another result that surprised me was Arsenal failing to beat Brentford at home after their convincing performance against Real Madrid during the midweek. Which of the results today caught your attention?
I wasn't surprised because Manchester city has missed the EPL title, but they will not miss the EPL top 4.
For Arsenal;
Draw was a good result for them. They have strong meeting in the midweek, so they don't need to give their all this time. Have you not heard that Real Madrid wanted their match to come earlier to give them time to rest against Arsenal match.
Manchester City will try everything possible to make sure they get into the top4 since they are no longer part of the title race this season but one thing to note is the level of seriousness in the team right now because from their performance yesterday even after scoring 5 goals they were not satisfied like they were playing like a team that is angry that is how a team should perform especially when they have failed to do well in the season.
For Arsenal, they tried to draw the game because for a team that has a big match this week against Real Madrid losing the league match will not be a problem for the team since they are not fighting for the league title against Liverpool again but they need to defend their 3 goals advantage against the best team in the history of champions league Real Madrid.
Manchester city did very well they should keep it up, I know from next season they will fully come back to there former form, pep guardiola really tried if not for a coach like him Manchester city would have been down in the table, finishing top 4 won't be easy for them because Newcastle United, Chelsea and Aston Villa are also fighting for the same top 4 and this teams are very close to each other and one can predict the team that will finish that top 4 so let's keep watching and see how it goes.
Arsenal has already removed there mind in the English premier league title race this season because Liverpool is gapping them with a very good point so is better they focus in champions League they even tried by drawing that game with Brentford, Liverpool are the once that will lift the premier league trophy this season so Arsenal should focus on the champions League, I believe they will qualify for the next round in champions League real Madrid can't win them with more than 3 goals in there home they may even draw that match.
