**Premier League: Key Takeaways from the Weekend's Matches** Ederson's value to Manchester City is becoming increasingly evident, while Jordan Pickford of Everton has managed to quiet the critics. In a thrilling match against Fulham, Ederson made several crucial saves, particularly against Adama Traoré. Following the game, Pep Guardiola addressed the summer interest from Saudi clubs in the Manchester City goalkeeper, clarifying that no substantial offer was ever made. “He knew from day one I didn’t want it, we didn’t want it,” Guardiola stated. “The offer didn’t come – the real offer. For a keeper on a team that has won four Premier Leagues in a row, he has a value, a price. Otherwise, he cannot leave.” Guardiola commended Ederson for his ability to refocus after the speculation. “Ederson is so strong: in one second, he says: ‘OK, I’m here, I’m going to do my best.’” He also noted that the presence of Stefan Ortega has created healthy competition, pushing Ederson to perform at his best. “Sometimes Ederson has to feel that he needs to perform well, otherwise Stefan can play. This healthy competition, built on mutual respect and an incredible relationship, enhances our team.” In other matches over the weekend, Aston Villa and Manchester United played to a goalless draw, while Arsenal secured a 3-1 victory over Southampton. Chelsea and Nottingham Forest ended their match in a 1-1 stalemate, and Brighton triumphed over Tottenham with a 3-2 win. These matches highlighted the ongoing drama and excitement of the Premier League, showcasing both individual brilliance and team dynamics.
