Comments:

League position: 13th Luka Milivojević's goal was Crystal Palace's 800th goal in the top division (played 754, conceded 1,106). Their first was scored by Mel Blyth in a 2-2 draw with Manchester United at Selhurst Park in League Division One on 9 August 1969. Palace had now taken 16 points from their 17 home games so far in this Premier League season; only already relegated Huddersfield Town had taken fewer (eight). The Eagles had now taken 39 points from their 34 games so far in this Premier League season; five more than at the same stage of the previous season.

Comments:

League position: 2nd Manchester City had now scored 150 goals in all competitions so far in this season. This was the second time that Raheem Sterling had scored more than one goal in an away game in the Premier League; also two goals for Liverpool at Norwich City on 20 April 2014. City failed in their attempt to equal their club record of keeping clean sheets in four consecutive away league games.
