Comments:

League position: 19th All five of Fulham's wins so far in this Premier League season had come at home. They had lost their preceding four home games in the division. The Whites ended a run of nine consecutive league defeats; their worst such run since losing 11 in a row in League Division One in 1962. Tom Cairney scored his second career goal in the Premier League. His first was for Hull City in a 5-1 defeat at Everton on 7 March 2010; 3,324 days earlier.

Comments:

League position: 9th Everton failed in their attempt to win four consecutive games in the Premier League without conceding for only the second time; previously a run of five 1-0 wins in November 2002. The Toffees also failed in their attempt to win four consecutive games in the Premier League for the first time since September 2016 and keep four consecutive clean sheets in the division for the first time since March 2009. They had now lost two of their last 20 away games in the Premier League against newly-promoted teams (won seven); also 2-1 at Burnley in October 2016. Everton had not now conceded a goal in the first-half of their last eight games in all competitions for the first time since September 2012.
