Comments:

League position: 10th Crystal Palace failed in their attempt to equal their club record of eight consecutive games in the Premier League without defeat, set in December 2017. The Eagles failed in their attempt remain unbeaten in seven consecutive home games in the top division for the first time since August 1992. They had now taken 16 points from their opening 13 games of this Premier League season; two points fewer than at the same stage of the previous season.

Comments:

League position: 11th Aston Villa avoided losing four consecutive away games in the Premier League for the first time since September 2019. Steven Gerrard became the second manager to win his first two games in the Premier League in charge of Villa after John Gregory in March 1998. Matt Target scored his first goal in the Premier League since 19 October 2019 in a 2-1 win against Brighton and Hove Albion. Douglas Luiz was shown a red card after 72 minutes for serious foul play but was downgraded to a yellow card following a VAR review.
