Comments:

League position: 15th West Ham United had now won 300 of their 918 games in the Premier League (lost 383). United scored two goals in the opening ten minutes of a game in the Premier League for the first time since a 3-1 win against Liverpool on 20 September 2014. Mark Noble became the tenth player to make 500 appearances for the Hammers in all competitions and the first since Steve Potts in October 2000.

Comments:

League position: 17th Manager Nigel Pearson was sacked two days after this game. Watford became the first club to see the departure of three permanent managers within a season in the Premier League. They conceded three or more goals in the first-half of a game for the first time since their 8-0 defeat in the Premier League at Manchester City on 21 September 2019 (5-0 at half-time). The Hornets had now won one of their last 12 away games in the Premier League (lost nine). With his first being for Walsall at Millwall in League One on 15 September 2007, Troy Deeney scored the 150th goal of his club career in this game.
