League position: 18th AFC Bournemouth had now failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 13 games in the Premier League; the longest current such run in the division. The Cherries had now kept a divisional low of four clean sheets so far in this Premier League season. They had now lost seven of their last ten games in all competitions (won two). AFC Bournemouth had now lost seven games in the Premier League in 2020; a divisional high along with West Ham United.

Comments:

League position: 9th Crystal Palace equalled their club record of four consecutive clean sheets in games in the top division set in September 1970 in League Division One. They had now won four consecutive games in the Premier League. The club's competition record is five wins in a row in December 1992 and April 2014. Palace scored in the first 15 minutes of a game in the Premier League for the first time since 2 March 2019 at Burnley when Phil Bardsley conceded an own goal. They had now failed to score more than two goals in a game in the Premier League since the final game of the previous season in a 5-3 win against AFC Bournemouth. With his 25th goal in the competition, Jordan Ayew surpassed Tony Yeboah (24) to become Ghana's leading scorer in the Premier League.
