Comments:

League position: 11th Aston Villa had now lost ten of their 20 games in the Premier League in 2021 (won six). Since March 2014, Villa had now won none and lost ten of the 13 games they had played against a team in the top two of the Premier League. They had now failed to keep a clean sheet in their last eight games in the Premier League.

Comments:

League position: 2nd Manchester United had now equalled the competition record of coming from behind to win ten games in a season in the Premier League; also by Newcastle United in 2001-02. United had now scored 101 goals in their last 52 games in the Premier League (conceded 49). Mason Greenwood had now scored more goals in the Premier League for the Red Devils while still a teenager than any other player (16); the club record was previously held by Wayne Rooney (15).
