Comments:

League position: 9th Aston Villa failed in their attempt to win three consecutive home games within the same Premier League season for the first time since October 2007. Villa failed in their attempt to equal the club record of keeping clean sheets in four consecutive home games in the Premier League that they set in October 2001. They had now lost 16 of their last 18 games in the Premier League played in February (won one).

Comments:

League position: 5th West Ham United had now taken 38 points from their 22 games so far in this Premier League season; their most at this stage of a top division season since 1985-86 in League Division One (45 points). Jesse Lingard became the second player to score two goals on his Premier League debut for the Hammers after Trevor Sinclair against Everton on 31 January 1998. They had now won three consecutive away games in the Premier League for the first time since December 2018.
