Comments:

League position: 6th Manchester United avoided losing consecutive home games in the Premier League for the first time since March 2014. The Red Devils also avoided losing three consecutive top division games against newly-promoted opposition for the first time since 1960. Fred became the fifth Brazilian to score for United in the Premier League after Kleberson, Anderson, Rafael and Fabio.

Comments:

League position: 10th Wolverhampton Wanderers had now lost two of their last 17 league and cup games (won ten). João Moutinho scored his first goal in 28 league games since scoring for AS Monaco against Paris St Germain in November 2017. Wolves failed in their attempt to win three consecutive games in the top division for the first time since March 1980.
