Comments:

League position: 13th Newcastle United had now won 50 games in the Premier League by a 2-0 margin. At 21 years and 119 days, Sean Longstaff became the youngest player to score for the Magpies in the Premier League since Rolando Aarons against Tottenham Hotspur on 15 May 2016 (20 years and 181 days). They had now taken 802 points from their 456 home games in the Premier League and scored 751 goals.

Comments:

League position: 15th Burnley failed in their attempt to complete a run of nine consecutive games in the top division without defeat for the first time since 1966. This was the first time that the Clarets had not lost a game in the Premier League with Tom Heaton in goal since 19 August 2017 against West Bromwich Albion. Despite this defeat, only Manchester United (12) had now taken more points from their away games in the Premier League in 2019 than Burnley (eight).
