Comments:

League position: 17th This was Fulham’s first goalless home league draw since the visit of Aston Villa in the Premier League on 13 August 2011; longer than any other current Premier League team. The Whites avoided losing five of their opening seven home games of a season in the Premier League for the second time; previously in 2013-14. They had now won one of their last six games in the Premier League (lost three).

Comments:

League position: 16th Of the teams in the Premier League throughout 2020, Brighton and Hove Albion had now won the fewest games (five) and drawn the most (14). Albion had now played more games on a Wednesday in the Premier League without winning than any other team (played nine, lost four). The Seagulls had now won one of their last 11 games in the Premier League (lost five). Adam Lallana scored after 49 minutes but the goal was disallowed after a VAR review due to a handball decision.
