Comments:

League position: 19th This was the first time that Fulham had come from 2-0 behind to win a game since a 4-2 win against Reading in the League Championship on 24 October 2015. This was the fifth time that a team had scored four or more goals in a half so far in this Premier League season; also Manchester City versus Burnley on 20 October 2018 and Southampton on 4 November 2018, and Liverpool versus Arsenal on 29 December 2018 and Crystal Palace on 19 January 2019. They had lost all of the four previous games they had played in 2019 in all competitions.

Comments:

League position: 13th Brighton and Hove Albion equalled their club record of three consecutive defeats in the Premier League. The Seagulls had now lost 21 of their 32 away games in the Premier League since the start of the previous season; more than any other team in the same period. Only Liverpool's Mohamed Salah (nine) had now scored the opening goal in more games so far in this Premier League season than Glenn Murray (six).
