Comments:

Final league position 2020-21: 18th Fulham became the first-ever team to score fewer than ten goals in home games in a season in the top division (nine). The Whites had now lost six consecutive home league games for the second time; also in February 1962 in League Division One. 80 goals were scored in their 38 games in this Premier League season (27 for, 53 against); fewer than any other team in the division in this season. Fulham named eight of a possible nine substitutes.

Comments:

Final league position 2020-21: 12th Newcastle United finished higher in the Premier League than in all but one of the preceding six seasons (10th in 2017-18). They had now won five of their last eight games in the Premier League; as many as in their preceding 23 games in the division. Joe Willock became the second player to score in seven consecutive appearances in the Premier League for the Magpies; also Alan Shearer in 1996.
