Comments:

League position: 16th AFC Bournemouth conceded four goals in a home game for the first time since Chelsea's 4-1 win in the Premier League on 23 April 2016. The Cherries were now without a win in their last six games in the Premier League (lost three). They had now taken eight points from their nine home games so far in this Premier League season; only bottom club Swansea City had taken fewer (seven).

Comments:

League position: 4th Liverpool became the first team in the history of the top division to win four consecutive away games by a margin of at least three goals. Mohamed Salah had now scored 20 goals for the Reds in all competitions in this season. On only three previous occasions had a player reached this figure for the club earlier in a season (Ian Rush on 8 November 1986, Roger Hunt on 25 November 1961 and Roger Hunt on 15 December 1965. [c/o Ged Rea] They had now kept 13 clean sheets in their last 24 games in the Premier League; the most by any team in the same period.
