Comments:

League position: 11th Crystal Palace avoided failing to score in four consecutive home league games for the first time since October 2018 in the Premier League. Palace had now scored 31 goals in this Premier League season to equal their total for the entire previous season. The Eagles had now won two of their last six home games in the Premier League (lost two). Crystal Palace were awarded a penalty after 36 minutes following a VAR review for handball.

Comments:

League position: 19th West Bromwich Albion had now taken 18 points from their 29 games so far in this Premier League season. They would become the first-ever team to avoid relegation from the division from this position. The Baggies remained without an away win in the Premier League since their visit to Wolverhampton Wanderers on 16 January 2021; longer than any other team currently in the division. Three goals had now been scored in Albion's last five games in the Premier League (for one, conceded two).
