It's been yet another weekend of thrilling Premier League action, with Sunday's fixtures particularly captivating.

Indeed, one of the most chaotic, dramatic and controversial Premier League games in recent memory ended up as a score draw between Leicester City and West Ham, ensuring the Foxes a vital point in the title race but one that could ultimately bring them closer to second-place Tottenham Hotspur come Monday night.

Meanwhile, Crystal Palace's late equaliser earned them a point away at Arsenal, much to the frustration of disillusioned Gunners fans, and Liverpool's young kids produced the goods against Bournemouth in the absence of the Reds' more coveted names.

We at Football FanCast believe that whether it's Football League or Champions League, the World Cup final or a non-league playoff, there's something important to be learned from every game. So with that in mind and plenty to dissect from today's action, here are the FOUR things we learned from Sunday's games.

WEST HAM RUNNING OUT OF STEAM IN TOP FOUR PUSH

I don't think any side in the Premier League right now - except for Tottenham Hotspur - would sniff their nose up at a 2-2 draw with Leicester City, especially away from home.



Overall, West Ham's performance was a solid one; enjoying the lion's share of possession and 14 more attempts at goal than the Foxes as well as hitting the woodwork in the opening minutes.



Yet, considering the Hammers took the lead against ten men with just five minutes to go, the result itself was disappointing - regardless of whether you agree with Jon Moss' decision to award a late penalty for a clumsy challenge from Andy Carroll.



Indeed, far from capitalising on Arsenal and Manchester City essentially being on their holidays already - at least in regards to the Premier League - West Ham's outside bid for a top four finish is going out with a whimper.



They've now gone six without a win across all competitions and endured four consecutive draws in the Premier League. It feels like the Irons are still just slightly short of top-quality cutting edge and a star striker could well be the missing piece.

Klopp's latest crop showing plenty of promise

Following the insurmountable highs of that incredible comeback against Borussia Dortmund in midweek, Jurgen Klopp took the incredibly bold step of resting all but one of the eleven players involved upon facing Bournemouth this afternoon.



A number of Reds fans initially feared the worst. After all, Liverpool's line-up included rookie goalkeeper Danny Ward, Premier League debutant Connor Randall, a first league start for Brad Smith and returning Swindon loanee Kevin Stewart - not to mention the almost slapstick centre-back partnership of Kolo Toure and Lucas Leiva.



Yet, Klopp gave his youngsters the chance to impress him and they duly delivered. Although Sturridge predictably provided the cutting edge - scoring the second and hitting the woodwork twice more - every Liverpool youngster played their part.



Wingers Jordan Ibe and Sheyi Ojo, aged 20 and 18 respectively, recorded seven created chances and eight successful dribbles between them, whilst Smith made a match-best five tackles and Ward produced five saves.



Not only do Liverpool clearly have some very exciting youngsters on their books, they also have a manager willing to give them the chance at first team level. Happy days.

Lack of ruthlessness costs Arsenal yet again

With Arsenal's season essentially over already, their meet with Crystal Palace was always going to be accompanied by a rather tepid atmosphere. Perhaps that was largely inevitable, considering the Eagles don't have much to play for at the moment either, but what disappointed most was the Gunners' lack of professionalism.



Indeed, the north London outfit simply got too comfortable after Alexis Sanchez gave them the lead just before half time, lacking intensity throughout and any sort of ruthlessness in the final third.



So although Palace didn't produce much going forward, Yannick Bolasie's late equaliser - a consequence of some casual closing down from Gabriel and an absolute howler from Petr Cech at his near post - felt a long time coming. Despite their tribulations recently, Alan Pardew's side are a hardworking bunch who won't allow any team an easy ride.



For anybody scratching their heads and wondering why yet another season has passed Arsenal by, today's game tells all you need to know. The Gunners don't have that ruthless streak in them and it really showed as they let Palace back into the match.

Leicester have the luck and grit of champions

Vardy dive

In stark contrast to Arsenal, plucky little Leicester City boast two key ingredients required in any Premier League title race - luck and determination.



Indeed, a lot went against the Foxes today, most particularly the controversial call to send Jamie Vardy off for a dive in the penalty box - which in my opinion, at least, was probably the right one from Jon Moss - which catalysed a 2-1 comeback from West Ham.



Finding themselves a goal and a man down with just five minutes remaining, Leicester City could have fallen apart or even turned on the referee, especially after he awarded an equally controversial penalty at the other end for grappling in the box.



But the Foxes refused to quit and eventually got the luck the spirit they've shown throughout the season fully deserved, winning a spot kick of their own courtesy of a clumsy challenge from Hammers striker Andy Carroll that Leonardo Ulloa swiftly converted.



Perhaps a point won't seem so great after Monday night, when second-place Spurs face Stoke City, but in the context of one of the most dramatic and controversial Premier League fixtures in recent memory, it was Leicester's luck and grit that saw them through to bag a decent result.
