Comments:

League position: 9th Everton had now taken 13 points in their last five games in the Premier League after taking nine points from the previous 12 games. The Toffees had now scored 47 goals in their home games in the Premier League in 2017; only Manchester City had scored more (52). Wayne Rooney's 45th minute penalty was saved. He had now failed to convert ten of his 32 penalty kicks in the Premier League. Only Alan Shearer had failed to score from more in the competition's history (11 out of 67).

Comments:

League position: 20th Manager Paul Clement was sacked two days after this game. They had now dismissed thir manager in the month of December in each of the last three years. Swansea City had now lost 19 away games in the Premier League since the start of the 2016-17 season; more than any other team. Prior to the two they conceded in this game, the Swans had neither been awarded or conceded a penalty so far in this Premier League season. Wilfried Bony was the only player to score for City in their preceding seven games in the Premier League. He was replaced by Tammy Abraham after five minutes of this game due to injury; the earliest substitution in the Premier League so far in this season.
