League position: 13th Brighton and Hove Albion had now taken three points in their last seven Premier League games (three draws) after taking 11 points from the previous seven games (won three). The Seagulls had now scored only one goal in their last six Premier League games after scoring eight goals in their previous six games. Glenn Murray missed a 36th minute penalty by shooting over the bar. He had now missed three of his last five penalties in the Premier League.

Comments:

League position: 5th Burnley's Premier League games this season had now produced a divisional low of 28 goals (16 for and 12 against). Only Manchester United (ten) had now kept more clean sheets so far in this Premier League season than the Clarets (nine). They had now lost only four games in their first 18 games of this Premier League season; as many as they lost in their last six games of the previous season.
