Comments:

League position: 18th This was Aston Villa's heaviest defeat since Liverpool's 6-0 win at Villa Park in the Premier League on 14 February 2016. This was Villa's 50th game in the Premier League against the reigning champions. They had now lost the last 12 in a row (won three). Previously when playing for Chelsea and Burnley, Danny Drinkwater became the fourth player to make three consecutive appearances in the Premier League against the same opposition; also Bruno Cheyrou (for Liverpool against Chelsea from May 2003 to January 2004), David Wheater (for Middlesbrough against Fulham from May 2006 to May 2007) and Ruben Loftus-Cheek (for Chelsea against Leicester City from May 2016 to January 2017).

Comments:

League position: 2nd Manchester City had now scored 95 goals in their 34 games in all competitions so far in this season (conceded 34). Sergio Agüero had now broken Thierry Henry’s record for the most goals scored in England’s top division by a non-British player, also joining Frank Lampard as the joint-fourth highest goalscorer in the history of the Premier League (177). Sergio Agüero had now broken Alan Shearer’s competition record for scoring the most hat-tricks in the Premier League (12). City became the tenth team to concede 1,000 goals in the Premier League (played 870, scored 1,436).
