Comments:

League position: 3rd Tottenham Hotspur had now equalled the Premier League record of 28 games without a draw; also by Bolton Wanderers from March to December in 2011. The record for the fewest draws in a completed season in the Premier League is three by Chelsea in 1997-98 and 2016-17. Spurs avoided losing three consecutive home games in the Premier League for the first time since September 2008. This was their lowest home attendance in the Premier League (29,164) since 28,306 for the visit of Bradford City to White Hart Lane on 10 April 2001 which was new manager Glenn Hoddle's first game in charge.

Comments:

League position: 9th Watford failed in their attempt to complete a run of five consecutive games in the Premier League without defeat for the first time. This was their first away defeat in the Premier League since their visit to Leicester City on 1 December 2018. They had been on the longest unbeaten away run amongst the current clubs in the division. The Hornets had now lost two of their last nine games in the Premier League (won three). They had now scored 250 goals in their away games in the top division (played 232).
