Comments:

League position: 11th . Brentford remain as the only team that had yet to keep a clean sheet in a home game in this Premier League season. . The Bees had now lost six of their eight games in the Premier League against a team starting the day at the top of the table (drawn two). . They had now failed to keep a clean sheet in 42 of their last 50 games in the Premier League.

Comments:

League position: 1st . Liverpool avoided drawing three consecutive games in the Premier League for the first time since August 2023 (three). . Darwin Núñez had now become the second substitute to score both the goals in a 2-0 league win in the Reds' history; previously David Fairclough against Burnley in League Division One on 27 March 1976. [c/o Michael Reid] . They had now become the fourth team to score in 1,000 games in the Premier League. [c/o @onionbagstats]
