Comments:

League position: 15th This was the second time that a team had beaten the Premier League leaders after trailing by two goals; also Manchester United at Manchester City on 7 April 2018. Albion had failed to score in three of their six preceding games in the Premier League. In his 69th appearance in the division, Dan Burn scored his first goal in the Premier League.

Comments:

League position: 1st This result ended Manchester City's runs of 12 consecutive away league wins and 23 away games unbeaten in all competitions; both all-time records by a team in the top four divisions. City would now become the first Premier League champions to lose as many as six games in a season since they did so in 2013-14. They became the first team to score and have a player sent-off in the opening ten minutes of a game in the Premier League since Norwich City at Portsmouth on New Year’s Day in 2005.
