Comments:

League position: 16th This was the first time that Newcastle United had scored three goals in the first-half of a game in the Premier League since the 6-2 win against Norwich City on 18 October 2015. This was the second time that Miguel Almirón had scored two goals in a game for the Magpies; also at West Bromwich Albion in the FA Cup on 3 March 2020. United had now conceded two goals in each of four of their last five games in the Premier League (none in the other). Having used their three substitutes and having had a player sent-off, Newcastle United were reduced to nine men after 75 minutes when Fabian Schär was withdrawn due to injury.

Comments:

League position: 12th Southampton equalled their club record of five consecutive defeats in the top division. The Saints had now conceded three or more goals in consecutive games in the Premier League for the first time since May 2019. Takumi Minamino scored on his debut in the Premier League for the Saints after scoring one goal in 19 appearances for Liverpool in the division.
