Comments:

League position: 17th With this victory, Brighton and Hove Albion ended their club record of 14 consecutive home league games without a win (lost seven). This was Albion's first home win in the Premier League since the visit of Arsenal on 20 June 2020; longer than any other team currently in the division. The Seagulls had now kept a clean sheet in three consecutive games in the Premier League for the first time since October 2018.

Comments:

League position: 6th Tottenham Hotspur led the Premier League after playing 12 games in this season. Eight games later, they now trailed the leaders by 11 points. Spurs had now lost four of their last eight games in the Premier League (won two). This was the first time that they had selected a starting line-up for a game in the Premier League that did not include a player born in England.
