It was an interesting weekend of football in the English Premier League (EPL) as the title race for 2020/21 season continues much stronger.
For some clubs, it is a race for survival, a race for top four finish and also a race to be crowned the English Champion.
The highlights of the weekend was the return of fans to the stadium after several months of playing without the presence of spectators due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Tottenham vs Arsenal: What Mourinho, Arteta Said
After losing 2-0 to Jose Mourinho’s Tottenham in the London derby, Mikel Arteta has condemned his team inability to score goals.
According to him, Arsenal’s lack of goals is “unsustainable” and they will achieve “nothing” unless they correct it.
“We need to score goals. If not, it is unsustainable. It doesn’t matter what we do in the other departments of the pitch, if we don’t score goals we can do nothing.
“So we need to put the ball in the net urgently.” He said.
Meanwhile, Tottenham has been enjoying the season and have been picked as favourite to win the EPL 2020/21 season after defeating Manchester City.
The London Club manager, Mourinho heaped praises on his players after their impressive performance at the Tottenham Stadium.
“We grew up. I can imagine lots of people can imagine three matches in a row – against Manchester City, Chelsea and Arsenal – would be a moment for us to drop points and go back to ‘normality’ but we didn’t go back to ‘normality’.
“We are there. I believe one more week at the top of the table unless Liverpool win by many.
“We were reading the game and making the changes to win it because 2-0 was in our hands against a great and difficult opponents but my boys did well today.” Mourinho said.
