Comments:

League position: 15th Burnley had now scored three goals in a game in the Premier League for the first time since a 3-0 win against AFC Bournemouth on 22 February 2020. The Clarets had now scored three or more goals in consecutive games in all competitions for the first time since November 2019. This was the first time that five or more goals had been scored in a Premier League game at Turf Moor since the visit of Manchester City on 3 December 2019 (lost 1-4).

Comments:

League position: 10th Aston Villa were now without a win in their last four away games in the Premier League (lost three). This was the first time that Villa had dropped points from a winning position in this Premier League season. This was the first time that they had conceded three or more goals in an away game in the Premier League since their visit to Leicester City on 9 March 2020 (lost 0-4) - the last game to be played in the Premier League before the competition was suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
