Comments:

League position: 4th Chelsea had now lost consecutive home games in the Premier League for the first time since November 2011 and for the first time without scoring in both games since March 1998. The Blues had now not drawn a game in the Premier League since 31 August 2019; longer than any other team currently in the division. Aged 19 years and 173 days, Michael Obafemi became the youngest opposition scorer in a game in the Premier League at Stamford Bridge since James Vaughan for Everton in May 2007 (18 years and 303 days).

Comments:

League position: 14th Southampton had now won four of their last six games in the Premier League (lost two); one more than in their preceding 20 games in the division (lost 11). This was the first time that the Saints had won an away game in the Premier League against a team starting the day in the top four since May 2016 at Tottenham Hotspur. They kept a clean sheet for the first time in their last 14 games in the Premier League to end the longest current such run in the division.
