Comments:

League position: 15th Brighton and Hove Albion had now scored 100 goals in their 102 games in the Premier League (conceded 152). The Seagulls had still yet to win a home game in the Premier League when they conceded the first goal (played 24, lost 14). Albion had now won one of their last eight home games in all competitions (lost three).

Comments:

League position: 19th Since the start of the previous season, Watford had now conceded six own goals in games in the Premier League; more than any other team. The Hornets had now scored three goals in the second-half of their 13 away games so far in this Premier League season; fewer than any other team. They avoided losing three consecutive games for the third time so far in this Premier League season.
