Comments:

League position: 12th Brighton and Hove Albion had now scored as many goals in this match as they had in their previous nine Premier League games. Anthony Knockaert's opener became Albion's quickest-ever Premier League goal (four minutes 32 seconds) and only their sixth in the first-half of a game in the competition. The Seagulls had now lost one of their last ten home games in the Premier League (won three).

Comments:

League position: 14th Only Scott Dann of Crystal Palace (nine) had now scored more goals in the Premier League than Steve Cook (eight) of all the recognised central defenders in the competition since August 2015. Callum Wilson's goal was AFC Bournemouth's 50th goal in away games in the Premier League. The Cherries had now won one of their last 11 games in all competitions.
