Five Things You May Have Missed In The Premier League This Season

Matchweek Six in the Premier League has concluded, with lots of drama until the last second, a clash between the Community Shield representatives, and relief for some at the bottom of the table.

Here's five things you may have missed.

Palace Last Team Unbeaten

Crystal Palace defeated Liverpool at home in a rematch of the Community Shield, making them the only remaining top flight team not to have lost this season.

They are now 18 matches unbeaten in all competitions, a run that extends back to April and includes results against Arsenal, Manchester City, Tottenham, Chelsea and of course the Reds.

Despite losing key midfielder Eberechi Eze to Arsenal, the influence of Marc Guehi and Jean-Phillipe Mateta has stood firm and has proven more than enough to preserve their invincibility.

Sitting only three points off the top and in third, surely they can push for a top four finish come the end of the season.

Late Goals Aplenty

Late goals, many of which were winners, was the common theme across the Premier League this weekend.

Seven teams - Brentford, Brighton, Crystal Palace, Bournemouth, Manchester City, Tottenham and Arsenal - all scored in second half stoppage time.

Obviously the Eagles' winner was important for reasons already mentioned, yet it was Arsenal's goal courtesy of Gabriel that was most crucial.

In a weekend where Liverpool could have gone eight clear of Mikel Arteta's side, a six-point swing instead has them within touching distance once more.

Chelsea See Red Once More

Trevoh Chalobah was sent off for the Blues against Brighton, making it two dismissals in back-to-back league games.

Self-destruction followed yet again, as Chelsea were 1-0 up at the time of the incident but fell to a 3-1 defeat - similarly to the loss against Manchester United, where they were drawing and ended up losing.

There's certainly a worrying pattern emerging at Stamford Bridge, as four red cards have now come in their last eight competitive fixtures.

The stats clearly show that they rarely lose with 11 men, but always crumble with a numerical disadvantage.

Aston Villa Finally Win

Last weekend, Aston Villa scored their first Premier League goal of the season in a 1-1 draw.

It may have taken them six attempts, but they now have their first victory.

Playing a Fulham side that were sitting directly mid-table, goals from Emiliano Buendia, John McGinn and Ollie Watkins turned the game on its head, following Raul Jimenez's early goal.

It was a result that did enough to drag them out of the relegation zone and up to 16th, which they will still be hoping to build on.

Wolves Denied

Wolverhampton Wanderers are now the final team yet to taste victory this season, but they were so close to doing so on Saturday night.

Away at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium, Wolves led for 40 minutes and were into stoppage time, before Joao Palhinha's curled finish denied them at the last.

Despite signing a new three-year contract only two weeks ago, Vitor Periera still seems unable to get them clicking.
