Comments:

League position: 17th Brighton and Hove Albion had now set a new club record of 13 consecutive home league games without a win. This was the first time that the Seagulls had conceded three or more goals in the first-half of a home game in the Premier League. Since their promotion to the Premier League in 2017, Albion had now conceded more own goals than any other team in the division (nine).

Comments:

League position: 13th Wolverhampton Wanderers had now failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 11 games in the Premier League. This was the first time that Wolves had scored three or more goals in the first-half of an away game in the Premier League, and the first time in an away league game since their visit to Burton Albion in the League Championship on 30 September 2017. They avoided losing four consecutive away games in the Premier League for the first time since Decmber 2011.
