Comments:

League position: 12th Newcastle United had now taken 30 points from their home games in a season in the Premier League for the first time since 2011-12. The Magpies avoided failing to score in three consecutive games in the Premier League for the first time since January 2021. They had now kept a clean sheet in seven home games in the Premier League since the start of the 2020-21 season. Fabian Schär's replacement in the 49th minute was regarded as a concussion substitution, therefore allowing both teams the possibility to make four substitutions during the game.

Comments:

League position: 5th Arsenal had now lost all seven away games in this Premier League season when they had conceded the opening goal. The Gunners had now lost six of their last 11 games in the Premier League (won five). With one game left to play, they had now equalled the club record for the most defeats in a 38-game Premier League season; also 13 in 2017-18 and 2020-21.
