Comments:

League position: 12th Since his making his debut for Fulham in February 2018, only Liverpool's Mohamed Salah had now scored as many league goals in the Premier League and Football League as Aleksandar Mitrović (15 each). This was the first time that Fulham had scored four goals in a Premier League game since a 4-1 win at Crystal Palace on 21 October 2013. The Whites avoided losing their first three games of a top division season for the first time since 1951-52 in League Division One.

Comments:

League position: 18th Following a run of five consecutive wins between March and April, Burnley had now taken three points from their last eight games in the Premier League (three draws). Jeff Hendrick played in the winning team in all four of the previous games in the Premier League when he had scored for the Clarets. They had now conceded 14 goals in their last five games in the Premier League.
