The Premier League is a football competition. It is like many of the big football competitions that take place in countries all over the world. It is an English competition, but there are also teams from Wales included.
The teams in the Premier League are some of the best football teams in the world because the standard of football is so high here. All of the teams play each other across the football season to see who will come out on top and be crowned the champions of the group - and the best team in English football.
The Premier League is a group of 20 of the best football teams from England and Wales. Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own football competitions. The winners of the Premier League each season are decided in a pretty straightforward way. Every team in the group plays each other twice across the season - once at each team's ground, so it's fair. Each team will play a total of 38 matches. If a team wins a match, it gets 3 points. If it's a draw, both teams get 1 point.
If a team loses, they won't get any points. Teams try to get as many points as they can throughout the season by winning as many matches as they can. At the end of the season, the team with the most points at the top of the Premier League table will win. It is usually the same few names that finish towards the top as these extremely wealthy football clubs often have the best players in the world.
However, sometimes there can be a real surprise, like when Leicester City won two years ago, which was very unexpected! If two teams are on the same number of points, another measurement is used to decide who comes out on top. This is called goal difference. Goal difference is the difference between how many goals a team has scored, and how many goals have been scored against them.
The number of goals scored against a team is subtracted from the number of goals it has scored itself. The bigger the goal difference, the better. This is why it is not just about winning. Heeding this warning, they upped the tempo and forced a series of corners.
Such set-pieces left Maxwell in particular looking increasingly rocky and, finally, led to a commendably poised Ritchie scoring left-footed from the penalty spot after Gallagher deliberately handled on the line and swiftly saw red.

Brighton striker Glenn Murray hopes the club can finally win promotion to the Premier League this season after several years of "knocking on the door". The Seagulls - who play Leeds live on Sky Sports on Saturday evening - are a popular choice among neutrals to go up this season, and Murray believes that's largely down to the way the club has been run by chairman Tony Bloom.
Brighton's manager Chris Hughton is also a well-liked figure among fans due to his level-headed nature, and Murray reckons that calm demeanour will be a key factor in getting them over the line.
Murray also hopes to get a third chance in the Premier League after spells at Crystal Palace and Bournemouth, but insists he would be happy to be scoring goals in the Sky Bet Championship next year.
