Comments:

League position: 18th Fulham remained without a win in their last eight games in the Premier League (lost three). The Whites avoided failing to score in four consecutive home league games for the first time since August 1969. They remained without a win in their last 33 games in the Premier League against the Big Six teams (lost 30).

Comments:

League position: 1st Manchester United equaled their club record of remaining unbeaten in 17 consecutive away games in the top division. The Red Devils had now gone more than a year since their last defeat in away games in the Premier League (a 2-0 loss at Liverpool on 19 January 2020). Edinson Cavani became the first player to score his first four goals in the Premier League for United in away games.
