Comments:

League position: 16th Burnley scored more than one goal in a game at Turf Moor for the first time since a 3-0 win against AFC Bournemouth in the Premier League on 22 February 2020. Ashley Barnes scored his first goal in his last 17 appearances in the Premier League since 23 November 2019 in the Clarets' 3-0 win at Watford. They had now taken 12 points from their last seven games in the Premier League (lost one).

Comments:

League position: 11th Wolverhampton Wanderers failed in their attempt win four of their opening seven away games in a season in the top division for the first time since 1970-71 in League Division One. Aged 18 years and 155 days, Fábio Silva became Wolves’ youngest-ever goalscorer in the Premier League; previously Rayan Aït-Nouri against Crystal Palace on 30 October 2020 (19 years and 146 days). They had now lost two of their last 11 away league games played on a Monday (won eight).
