Comments:

League position: 15th Newcastle United had now won six of their last 22 games in the Premier League (lost 11). They kept a clean sheet for the first time in their last ten games in the Premier League. Aged 21 years and 272 days, Joe Willock became the youngest-ever player to score in six consecutive appearances in the Premier League; also the third to do so for the Magpies after Alan Shearer in November 1996 and Papiss Cisse in April 2012.

Comments:

League position: 20th This was Sheffield United's 29th defeat in this Premier League season; a joint-record in a season in the competition along with Derby County in 2007-08, Sunderland in 2005-06 and Ipswich Town in 1994-95. The Blades had now lost 17 games in this Premier League season by a single-goal margin. They had now failed to score in 22 of their 37 games so far in this Premier League season; more than any other team.
