Premier League Highlights: Thrilling Twists on Matchday 20

We are now past the midpoint of the 2025-26 Premier League season, and the standings are closely contested.

Arsenal leads the table with a six-point advantage, while just nine points separate Chelsea in fourth place from Leeds United in sixteenth.

Here are the key highlights from Matchday 20.

Enzo Fernandez Makes an Impact

Chelsea started 2026 in a difficult situation. On New Year’s Day, their Club World Cup-winning coach Enzo Maresca reportedly left the club without notice, protesting against the management of the American ownership group, BlueCo. This sudden departure left Chelsea without a manager right before their important match against Manchester City this weekend.

During the game, Chelsea appeared to lack direction. The team was uninspired, and their game plan seemed cautious. Manchester City easily navigated through Chelsea’s defense, scoring first with Tijjani Reijnders. However, as the match continued, Chelsea showed more energy. In stoppage time, Argentine midfielder Enzo Fernandez found the net to equalize, which felt like a fitting twist to the game.
