The Gunners were fully-deserving of their Premier League title as they were by far the best team, with their expected goal difference much higher than closest rivals Manchester City (+36.7 compared to City's +26.7). While only Manchester City scored more, Arsenal's 71 goals were the fewest by a champion since Leicester in 2015-16 (68). The Gunners did take their chances as only Tottenham and Aston Villa overperformed their xG by more than their six goals, but they only ranked fourth for shots and xG, suggesting they could do with more creativity this season.
