Comments:

League position: 10th Crystal Palace had now won consecutive games for the second time in this Premier League season. Wilfried Zaha’s penalty was Palace’s 500th goal at Selhurst Park in the top division. They had now kept a clean sheet in four consecutive home league games for the first time since December 2012 in the League Championship.

Comments:

League position: 19th This result confirmed Watford's relegation to the League Championship. They became the sixth team to be relegated from the Premier League on four or more occasions. The Hornets were now without a win in the Premier League since their visit to Southampton on 13 March 2022; longer than any other team currently in the division. They had now conceded 50 goals in their last 24 games in the Premier League.
