Comments:

League position: 8th Liverpool extended their new club record to six consecutive home defeats in all competitions. This became the third time that the Reds had trailed in six consecutive home league games; 1927-28 and 1937-38, both in League Division One. [c/o LFC Match by Match] They had now scored one goal (a Mohamed Salah penalty against Manchester City) in their last seven home games in the Premier League.

Comments:

League position: 18th Fulham extended their new club record to eight consecutive away games in the top division without defeat (won two). This became the third time that the Whites had won an away game in the top division against the reigning champions; also at Ipswich Town on 2 March 1963 in League Division One and at Manchester United on 25 October 2003 in the Premier League. Mario Lemina scored his first goal since playing for Galatasaray against Caykur Rizespor in the Turkish Cup (Türkiye Kupası) on 23 January 2020.
