Comments:

League position: 8th Everton remained without a win in five consecutive games in the Premier League for the first time since December 2018 (lost two). The Toffees had now taken 49 points from 31 games so far in this Premier League season; their points total for the entire previous season. Gylfi Sigurdsson’s spot-kick was the 100th converted penalty in games in the Premier League at Goodison Park (37 missed). [c/o Steve Johnson. Everton: The Official Complete Record].

Comments:

League position: 7th As he was sacked three days later, this was manager José Mourinho's last game in charge of Tottenham Hotspur (played 86, won 44, lost 23). Spurs had now dropped 20 points from winning positions so far in this Premier League season; the joint-most along with Brighton and Hove Albion. They had now failed to hold on to a lead in four of their last five games in the Premier League (lost two). Harry Kane became the fourth player to score 20 or more goals in five or more seasons in the Premier League after Alan Shearer (seven), Sergio Agüero (six) and Thierry Henry (five).
