Matchday 25 of the Premier League began with the game between Brentford and Liverpool, where the Reds showed their high level by winning 4-1.
Liverpool’s dominance translated perfectly into goals because, although Brentford also had some clear goal situations, they were not as effective as the visiting team.
The visitors started the game with everything, but it was not until the 35th minute when Darwin Núñez scored the 1-0 to give them the lead. However, the tone of the match changed completely in the second half, as the Reds went on the attack, and in the 55′ and 68′ minutes, Alexis Mc Allister and Mohamed Salah scored the goals of tranquility to make the score 3-0.
In the 75th minute, Ivan Toney got the discount for the visitors, but Cody Gapko sealed the score in the 86th minute with an extraordinary goal.
Result: Brentford (1) – (4) Liverpool

Another expected result this weekend was Arsenal’s resounding 5-0 win over Burnley. The Gunners are having a great year and fighting for first place in the table, while the Clarets are sinking deeper and deeper into the bottom of the table.
The result of the match says it all, as Arsenal were infinitely superior to Burnley. Their defense even prevented the home side from shooting on goal.
The game started very well for the visitors, who took the lead in the 4th minute with Martin Odegaard’s goal. While they kept attacking the home defense intensely, they could not score more goals until the 41st minute when Bukayo Saka made it 2-0 through a penalty kick.
Then, just 2 minutes later, at the start of the second half, Saka scored to make it 3-0 and closed the door for the game. However, it didn’t end there, as the Gunners went for more. Leandro Trossard (66′) and Kai Havertz (78th) put the final figures (5-0) to this thrashing.
Result: Burnley (0) – (5) Arsenal

The match was back and forth from start to finish, as expected. However, Chelsea was able to strike first by scoring the 1-0 through Raheem Sterling in the 42nd minute. This goal left City, who were dominating the match at this point, unsettled.
