Comments:

League position: 15th Brentford had now failed to win in eight consecutive league games for the first time since October 2018 in the League Championship. The Bees had now lost seven of the 13 games they had played in the Premier League on a Saturday (won one). 259 days after suffering a cardiac arrest during Denmark's Euro 2020 game against Finland, Christian Eriksen made his return to senior football. Josh Dasilva was shown a red card following a VAR review for serious foul play.

Comments:

League position: 14th Newcastle United remained unbeaten in seven consecutive games in the Premier League for first time since November 2011. The Magpies had now scored more than one goal in two of their last 13 games in the Premier League. They scored more than one goal in an away game in the Premier League for the first time since the final day of the previous season (2-0 at Fulham).
