16 Conclusions
16 Conclusions on Spurs winning the Europa League: Amorim sack, Postecoglou vindication, terrible Manchester United
Spurs should not be blamed for reconsidering the future of Ange Postecoglou, while Manchester United really ought to give Ruben Amorim another think.
16 Conclusions on Crystal Palace winning the FA Cup: Glasner, Pep, De Bruyne, Mateta, Haaland, Munoz
Oliver Glasner got into the mind of Pep Guardiola to end the major trophy drought of Crystal Palace and make a fair few people look foolish in the process.
16 Conclusions on Chelsea 3-1 Liverpool: Brilliant Cole Palmer exploits half-hearted Liverpool
Chelsea playmaker Cole Palmer ended his long goal drought, and deservedly so. This was his game, everyone else including Liverpool was just living in it.
16 Conclusions from Liverpool 5-1 Spurs: title parties, microcosms, side-quests and above all else Mo Salah
Liverpool wrapped up their long-inevitable Premier League title success as they entirely overwhelmed a predictably hapless and hopeless Spurs.
16 Conclusions on Man Utd 0-0 Man City: Fernandes brilliant, Garnacho poor, Guardiola shows ‘lack of class’
It was not a classic between Manchester United and Man City but Bruno Fernandes tried his best and Pep Guardiola kept things interesting after the game.
16 Conclusions on Man United 1-1 Arsenal: Arteta’s obsession, Amorim’s compromise and Neville’s wall
Declan Rice rescued Arsenal twice and then absolutely nailed them after their draw with Manchester United. But Gary Neville is not bothered about all that.
16 Conclusions on Man City 0-2 Liverpool: Salah, De Bruyne, Szoboszlai, Guardiola, ‘Wata’s mindset’ and more
Liverpool know the title is theirs, Mo Salah and Kevin de Bruyne are dealing with impending mid-30s free agency differently and this is beyond Pep Guardiola.

Spurs give up leads and are particularly terrible in one specific 15-minute period, while Amorim’s made Man Utd a whole lot worse.
16 Conclusions from Arsenal 1-1 Man Utd (3-5): Havertz and Gunners blow big chance, tentative United progress continues
Arsenal v Manchester United started in slow and cagey fashion, but certainly didn’t finish that way.
16 Conclusions on Liverpool 2-2 Manchester United: Terrible TAA, frustrating Fernandes, silly Slot
Trent Alexander-Arnold was atrocious for Liverpool and Bruno Fernandes frustrated yet again for Manchester United. Ruben Amorim is right to be ‘mad’.
16 Conclusions from Spurs 3-6 Liverpool: Salah, Diaz, Szoboszlai and Kulusevski dazzle above the shod
Spurs are a failed experiment after a humbling defeat that shouldn’t be shrugged off just because champions-in-waiting Liverpool were excellent.
16 Conclusions from Man City 1-2 Man Utd – Amad changes the story, but what if Pep really is done?
Manchester City looked set for a rare win. It was unconvincing, but it was something. Then Amad Diallo came along and turned it to nothing.
16 Conclusions on Spurs 3-4 Chelsea: Postecoglou sack, Sancho, Bissouma, Cucurella and the title
Spurs showed their best and worst sides under Ange Postecoglou as Chelsea displayed why Enzo Maresca should be ignored when it comes to this title race.

16 Conclusions from Liverpool 2-0 Man City: is there even going to be a title race at all?
Liverpool swatted Man City aside four days after swatting Real Madrid aside to open a nine-point lead at the top of the Premier League. Handy week, that.
16 Conclusions on Man City 0-4 Spurs: atrocious Walker and Gundogan, brilliant Kulusevski and Maddison
Of course Spurs followed defeat to Ipswich by thrashing champions Man City. Dejan Kulusevski was sensational. Two players were atrocious for Pep Guardiola.
16 Conclusions from Chelsea 1-1 Arsenal: Gunners crisis averted as Odegaard return restores hope
It feels like another two points dropped for Arsenal, given recent events, but there were at least reasons for optimism in a hard-earned draw at Chelsea.
16 Conclusions on Manchester United 1-1 Chelsea: Garnacho, Caicedo, pathetic Martinez and more
Alejandro Garnacho should be dropped but Manchester United have made an actual good signing! As have Chelsea with Moises Caicedo, it turns out.
16 Conclusions from Arsenal 2-2 Liverpool: Saka dazzles, Salah delivers, City have the last laugh
Arsenal and Liverpool played out a tremendously entertaining 2-2 draw at the Emirates, but there’s no escaping the identity of the big winners from that result.

16 Conclusions on Man Utd 0-3 Tottenham: Ten Hag sack, Ugarte nightmare, Kulusevski dazzles
Tottenham were good but not as good as Manchester United were bad in another new low for Erik ten Hag, whose summer signings have changed nothing at Old Trafford.

16 Conclusions on Man Utd 0-3 Liverpool: Ten Hag sack, great Gravenberch, Casemiro done, ‘unprofessional’ Szob
Arne Slot humiliated Erik ten Hag, who should have walked away from Man Utd after an embarrassing summer. Ryan Gravenberch was slightly better than Casemiro.
16 Conclusions on Chelsea 0-2 Manchester City: Sterling axe, Lewis brilliant, Fernandez awful
Chelsea should consider dropping Enzo Fernandez before Raheem Sterling, but at least Romeo Lavia was good. Rico Lewis is even better for Manchester City.
