Comments:

League position: 13th Crystal Palace remained without a win in their last seven games in all competitions (lost three). Palace had now failed to score in the first-half in 20 of their 25 games so far in this Premier League season (more than any other team) and 15 of those games had now been goalless at the interval (more than any other team). Since the start of the previous season, the Eagles had now scored more than two goals in one of their last 33 home games in the Premier League (5-3 against Bournemouth on 12 May 2019). Joel Ward was initially shown a red card after 72 minutes but was downgraded to a yellow card following a VAR review.

Comments:

League position: 5th Only leaders Liverpool had now conceded fewer goals so far in this Premier League season than Sheffield United (23 in 25 games). This was the Blades' first win in their last 20 visits to London in the Premier League since 31 October 1992 at Chelsea. 49 goals had now been scored in United’s 25 games so far in this Premier League season (for 26, against 23); fewer than any other team.
