The key talking points after the first weekend of Premier League resumption

:Headline: The key talking points after the first weekend of Premier League resumption: ID:403320: from db_amp
Liverpool were held to a goalless draw by Everton.

The resumption of the Premier League continued this weekend and here the PA News Agency picks out five talking points.

Title wait

The title may be all but in the bag but Everton managed to frustrate champions-elect Liverpool in a goalless derby at Goodison Park. Liverpool were not quite in the groove so it remains to be seen when, rather than if, the title is won. Manchester City's result against Burnley on Monday night will give us a clearer picture. If City drop points Liverpool could clinch it at Anfield against Palace on Wednesday night. If not, it's the small matter of City v Liverpool a week on Thursday.

Art failure

Mikel Arteta has overseen successive defeats for Arsenal (Mike Hewitt/NMC Pool/PA)

Those Arsenal fans who thought all their problems would disappear when they finally got rid of Arsene Wenger must now be pining for those heady days of fourth-placed finishes and stubborn philosophies. Unai Emery has been and gone and now Mikel Arteta is struggling to get the Gunners firing. It is back-back-defeats since the restart after Neal Maupay's last-gasp winner for Brighton.

Pog days are not over

Just when we thought 2020 could not get any weirder, Joelinton scored a goal. Yes it was a tap-in. Yes it was the third goal in a 3-0 win against 10 men.  But to Newcastle's misfiring Brazilian striker it meant the world. Not for the first time Joelinton had missed a simple chance earlier on, but he recovered to grab only his second goal in 30 Premier League appearances, 301 days after his first, as the Magpies made short work of Sheffield United.
