Comments:

League position: 14th Brighton and Hove Albion had now taken 34 points from their 38 games in the Premier League in 2019; the fewest points of any of the teams in the division throughout the year. With his first goal in his 27th appearance for the club in all competitions, Alireza Jahanbakhsh's opener became the Seagulls' quickest-ever goal in the Premier League (timed at two minutes and 29 seconds). Albion had now won two of their last nine games in the Premier League (lost five). Dan Burn scored after 58 minutes but the goal was disallowed after a VAR review due to an offside decision.

Comments:

League position: 16th Since their election to the Football League in 1923, this was AFC Bournemouth’s 4,000th league game and their 1,000th away league defeat. The Cherries had taken 39 points from their 38 games in the Premier League in 2019. They had now lost seven of their last nine games in the Premier League (won one). AFC Bournemouth were reduced to ten men after 81 minutes as Jack Stacey was withdrawn due to injury after they had already used their three substitutes.
