Comments:

League position: 17th This was the second time that Cardiff City had conceded five or more goals in a home game in this Premier League season (also 0-5 versus Manchester City on 22 September 2018). The Bluebirds had now lost all of their last 14 games in the Premier League against big six opponents (conceded 45 goals). They failed in their attempt to keep consecutive clean sheets in home games in the top division for the first time since April 1957. This was manager Neil Warnock's 50th defeat in the Premier League (played 92).

Comments:

League position: 6th Following the sacking of manager José Mourinho, this was Ole Gunnar Solskjær's first game in caretaker charge. This was the first time that Manchester United had scored five or more goals in a game in the Premier League since the final game of Sir Alex Ferguson's reign (a 5-5 draw at West Bromwich Albion on 19 May 2013). Anthony Martial scored on his 100th appearance for United in the Premier League. It was the 500th goal scored in this Premier League season. The Red Devils had now won two of their last seven games in the Premier League (lost two).
