League position: 15th Brighton and Hove Albion had now won two of their last 17 games in the Premier League (lost six). The Seagulls had now scored more than one goal in one of their last 12 games in the Premier League. With one game still to play, Albion had now taken 38 points from their 37 games so far in this Premier League season; two points short of their club record for a completed season in the division (40 in 2017-18).

Comments:

League position: 13th Newcastle United avoided losing four consecutive games in the Premier League for the first time since May 2018. The Magpies had now won two of their last 11 away games in the Premier League. They had now won two of their final away games in their 25 seasons in the Premier League (lost 13); at Queens Park Rangers in 2013 and Fulham in 2019.
