Comments:

League position: 11th Brighton and Hove Albion conceded five goals in a game for the first time since a 6-0 defeat at West Ham United in League Championship on 14 April 2012. Following four draws, the Seagulls had now gone five home league games without a win for the first time since April 2015. Only Liverpool's Martin Skrtel in 2013-14 (four) had now scored more own goals in a Premier League season than Lewis Dunk (now three so far in this season).

Comments:

League position: 4th Since his Premier League debut in August 2015, Roberto Firmino had now netted 26 goals in the competition, more than any other Liverpool player. The Reds scored five goals in an away game in the Premier League for the first time since a 6-0 win at Aston Villa on 14 February 2016. They set a new competition record by scoring a Premier League goal at their 57th different stadium.
