Comments:

League position: 12th Leeds United had now lost 700 games in the top division (played 2,078, won 853). The Whites had now failed to score in their first three senior games of year for the second time in their history; also in 1948. [c/o Jonny Cooper] They had now lost six of their last nine games in all competitions (won three).

Comments:

League position: 16th This was Brighton and Hove Albion's first win in the Premier League since their visit to Aston Villa on 21 November 2020 to end the longest current run without a win in the division. Neal Maupay had now scored more goals against Leeds United than any other opponent in his league career in England (four goals in five games). The Seagulls had now kept a clean sheet in two of their last 11 games in the Premier League.
