If Chelsea can continue to perform like this, they could become one of the most serious threats in the race for Champions League qualification.
2. The championship battle is far from settled
Just when the leading teams seemed to be gathering momentum, Gameweek 29 brought new uncertainty.
Manchester City were held to a draw at home by Nottingham Forest, while Arsenal beat Brighton 1-0 at the Amex Stadium.
Results like this show that teams competing for the title cannot afford any mistakes. At this stage of the season, losing even one point can have a huge impact.

Gameweek 29 proved that the race for the Premier League title is still very tight.
3. Crystal Palace are becoming a serious threat
Crystal Palace continued their impressive form with a 3-1 win away at Tottenham Hotspur. Their performances in recent weeks have shown that they are developing into a very dangerous team once again.
Midfielder Adam Walton played a big role in the win, notching up two assists and dictating the tempo of the game in the midfield. Palace looked well organised, creative and efficient in the final third.
This performance shows that Crystal Palace can play an important role in the European qualification and relegation battle.

4. Tottenham’s struggles are deepening
Tottenham’s defeat at home to Crystal Palace will only increase the pressure on the club. Defensively they looked vulnerable and struggled to respond convincingly once they fell behind.
The result moved Spurs closer to the middle of the table and raised fresh concerns about their inconsistency. The offensive confidence that once defined their style of play now appears to be disappearing.
If Tottenham cannot turn things around quickly, the final weeks of the season could become very challenging for them.
5. Late drama remains a defining feature of the Premier League
Gameweek 29 proved once again that Premier League games are rarely decided at the last minute.
