League position: 14th . This became Coventry City's biggest win in the Premier League since a 4-1 victory against Sheffield Wednesday at Highfield Road on 6 May 2000. . Jack Rudoni became the first player to score in a home game in the Premier League for the Sky Blues since John Hartson in a 1-0 win against Sunderland at Highfield Road on 16 April 2001. . City avoided becoming the first team to lose their first three home games in a season in the Premier League without scoring since Everton in 2023-24.

Comments:

League position: 11th . Newcastle United had now conceded four or more goals in consecutive away games in the Premier League for the first time since December 2012. . The Toon had now lost four of their last 34 games in the Premier League against newly promoted teams (won 21). . Only Burnley had now conceded as many penalties since the start of the 2025-26 season in the Premier League than the Magpies (seven each).
