League position: 11th Crystal Palace equalled their biggest-ever win in the top division; also 5-0 versus Manchester United at Selhurst Park on 16 December 1972 in League Division One. The Eagles had now won consecutive home games in the Premier League for the first time since April 2017. Wilfried Zaha had now scored four goals in his last four games in the Premier League; as many as in his previous 24.

Comments:

League position: 9th This was Leicester City's heaviest defeat in the Premier League since a 0-5 loss against Aston Villa at the Walkers Stadium on 31 January 2004.

City had now won two of their last 11 games in the Premier League (lost five).
