Comments:

League position: 13th Newcastle United had now lost three consecutive games in the Premier League for the first time since October 2018. This was the Magpies' first loss in their last 12 home games in the top division played on New Year's Day since a 5-3 defeat against West Bromwich Albion in 1953. Ayoze Pérez became the first former player to score against United in the Premier League since Dan Gosling for AFC Bournemouth on 24 February 2018. Having already used their three substitutes, Newcastle United were reduced to ten men after 51 minutes when Fabian Schär was withdrawn due to injury.

Comments:

League position: 2nd Leicester City had now won ten of their last 13 games in the Premier League (lost two) and won six of their last seven away games in the division (lost one). The Foxes had now taken 45 points from their 21 games so far in this Premier League season; two more points than at the same stage in 2015-16 when they won the title. Excluding own goals, only leaders Liverpool (16) now had more different goalscorers so far in this Premier League season than City (13).
