Comments:

League position: 11th Andre Gray's hat-trick was Burnley's first in the Premier League and also their first since his threesome against Bristol City in the League Championship on 28 December 2015. The Clarets were now the first newly promoted Premier League side to win seven of their first 11 home games since Charlton Athletic in 2000-01. This equalled Burnley's biggest-ever win in the Premier League. They also won 4-1 at Hull City on 10 April 2010. Dean Marney was booked in the second minute of added time in the first half.

Comments:

League position: 18th Sunderland had now scored 600 goals in the Premier League. The Black Cats had now lost four consecutive away games for the first time since November 2015. Jermain Defoe became one of four players to score 20 goals in the Premier League in 2016 (also Sergio Aguero 27, Harry Kane 22 and Diego Costa 20).
