Is possession-based football losing its edge in the Premier League?

Teams that dominate possession in the Premier League are winning less often than in the past, according to an analysis by BBC Sport.

The analysis found that only 36% of teams recording more than 60% possession in a match have gone on to win this season.

The finding raises questions about whether the possession-based approach that shaped much of English top-flight football over the past decade is becoming less effective as opponents adapt their tactics.

BBC Sport's report examines potential reasons behind the trend, though specific tactical explanations were not detailed in the available excerpt.
