Comments:

League position: 12th Brighton and Hove Albion had now lost two of their last eight games in the Premier League (won three). The Seagulls failed in their attempt to win consecutive games in the top division for the first time since September 1982. Glenn Murray scored his 50th goal in home games for Albion. He scored his first at Withdean Stadium against Crewe Alexandra on 2 February 2008 in League One. Brighton and Hove Albion manager Chris Hughton said: "From the ten games, we have played two of the top six and even in the games we have lost away at Leicester and Bournemouth, we have not been embarrassed in any games, so we deserve to be where we are. By far the most important thing is that there is a lot more work to be done. You can in this division lose three, four, five games on the spin and we have to make sure we guard against that."

Comments:

League position: 9th Steven Davis had now scored twice in his last five appearances in the Premier League following a run without scoring from 15 May 2016 to 16 September 2017. Southampton had now scored more than one goal in three of their last 16 games in the Premier League. The Saints had now lost one of their last six away games in the Premier League. Southampton manager Mauricio Pellegrino said: "We got the early goal and made a good start, so we are a little bit disappointed as we were in front and they scored. After that, when you allow the opponent to come back and be in the game again, in the Premier League every single team has quality to create problems. My feeling right now is we competed well but when we are controlling this type of situation, you have to play with more determination to score the second one and maybe kill the game."
