Comments:

League position: 3rd Chelsea had now won five consecutive home games in the Premier League for the first time since December 2017. The Blues had now kept three clean sheets in their last 14 games in the Premier League. Olivier Giroud had now scored in three consecutive starts in the Premier League for the first time since January 2017 when playing for Arsenal.

Comments:

League position: 20th Norwich City had now lost eight consecutive league games for the first time in their history. The Canaries had now lost 25 games in a league season for the first time. In Europe's top five divisions so far in this season, City remained as the only team that had yet to gain a point from a losing position.
