Comments:

League position: 3rd Manchester City had now become the sixth club to win 1,000 home games in the top division. City had now scored 841 goals in the Premier League in the 2010s; the most by a team in the top division over a decade since the 1950s (Wolverhampton Wanderers 904 and Manchester United 855 in League Division One). With 250 wins in the Premier League since 1 January 2010, they became only the second-ever team to reach this landmark in the top division in a decade after Manchester United (255 wins in the Premier League in the 2000s).

Comments:

League position: 2nd This was the first time that Leicester City had conceded three or more goals in a game in the Premier League since their 4-1 defeat against Crystal Palace on 23 February 2019. Jamie Vardy had now scored 29 goals in the Premier League in 2019; six more than any other player. Riyad Mahrez became the fifth player to have played for the Foxes in the Premier League and then score against them in the division (also Julian Joachim, Emile Heskey, Chris Wood and N'Golo Kante).
