Comments:

League position: 11th Crystal Palace had now won three consecutive games in the Premier League in the same season for the first time since May 2018. Palace had now taken 39 points from their 29 games so far in this Premier League season; their highest total at this stage of a top division season since 1991-92 in League Division One (40 points). Jordan Ayew’s winner was the first goal that the Eagles had scored in open play in the first-half of a home game in the Premier League since their final game of the previous season.

Comments:

League position: 17th Watford had now won one of their last ten away games in all competitions (lost seven). The Hornets had now not won any of their seven games in this Premier League season against London opposition (lost three). They had now failed to score in 13 games so far in this Premier League season; more than any other team.
