League position: 9th Leicester City avoided failing to score in three consecutive home games in the Premier League for the first time since March 2015. This was the Foxes' first win in their last seven home games in the Premier League (lost two). Jamie Vardy had now scored 24 of his 60 goals in the Premier League against the top six teams.

Comments:

League position: 6th In Arsène Wenger’s penultimate game in charge, Arsenal had now lost seven consecutive away games in the top division for the first time since January 1966. The Gunners had now conceded 51 goals in a top division season for the first time since 1983-84 (60) which was also the last time they finished in sixth position. Since making his Premier League debut on 3 February 2018, only Liverpool's Mohamed Salah (12) had now scored more goals in the competition than Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (nine).
