$\therefore$ Bournemouth won 1 match and drew 0 matches as the total number of matches played by each team is 5.
$\therefore$ Arsenal scores 13 points only if its 1 match ended in a draw and it lost 2 matches.
$\because$ Southampton lost 1 matches and drew 0 matches, it won 4 matches as the total number of matches played by each team is 5.
$\because$ Bournemouth won its only match against Everton by 4 - 1, they scored only one bonus point as the difference between number of goals scored is 3.
Also, 3 matches ended in a draw.
$\therefore$ Total number of wins and losses will be 12 as the total number of matches played is 15.
Following table can be made on the basis of above statements:
Now, total number of bonus points is 14.
$\therefore$ Southampton scored 5 bonus points.
$\therefore$ Southampton scored a total of 25 points and the difference between the total points scored by Southampton and Aston Villa is 12.
$\therefore$ Aston Villa scored 13 points and won 2 matches with 1 match ending in a draw.
$\because$ 3 matches ended in a draw, the total number of draws is 6.
