The last two weeks of Premier League action have been nothing short of crazy. And Gameweek 16 provided the fans with another bunch of headlines and shocking moments to go over. Most prominently, Aston Villa cemented themselves as title contenders with a 1-0 win against Arsenal, only days after they defeated Manchester City by the same scoreline. Unai Emery became the first manager in the history of Villa to earn 15 straight home league wins, and has guided his side to third place in the Premier League.
Villa’s win is rivalled in shock factor only by Manchester United, who were defeated 3-0 by Bournemouth at Old Trafford as the Cherries picked up their first-ever win at the historic stadium. The loss came only days after the Red Devils claimed all three Premier League Awards for November
On the other hand, Everton continued their resurgence with a 2-0 win against Chelsea, having defeated Newcastle United 3-0 last week.
