Comments:

League position: 13th Brighton and Hove Albion failed in their attempt to win four consecutive home games in the top division for the first time. This was the Seagulls' fourth home defeat in the Premier League (played 16, won six) and their first against a non 'big six' team. Albion had now lost each of their last three games in all competitions by a 0-2 margin.

Comments:

League position: 8th Kasper Schmeichel saved Glenn Murray's 77th minute penalty. He had now saved three of the 14 penalties he had faced in the Premier League; his father Peter also saved three during his career in the competition although he faced 21 penalties. Jamie Vardy had now scored in five of Leicester City's last six away games in the Premier League. Wilfred Ndidi's red card was the Foxes' fourth of the season in the Premier League; no side has been shown more (level with Chelsea and Watford).
