Comments:

League position: 15th Newcastle United had now won three consecutive home games in the Premier League for the first time since April 2018 (four games). Each of Salomón Rondón's seven goals in this Premier League season had been scored in wins or draws. Tom Smith became the first opponent to be sent-off in the Magpies' last 156 games in the Premier League since Bradley Johnson of Norwich City on 28 January 2014.

Comments:

League position: 20th Huddersfield Town had now taken 11 points from their 27 games so far in this Premier League season; only Derby County in 2007-08 (nine) and Sunderland in 2005-06 (ten) had taken fewer points at this stage of a season in the competition's history. The Terriers had now lost 13 of their last 14 league games (drawn one); the longest current run without a league win in the top four divisions. They remained without a win in a game that kicked-off at 3pm on a Saturday during this Premier League season (drawn five, lost 13). Town had now been shown the most red cards in this Premier League season along with Everton and Leicester City (four each). This was their 1,500th all-time league defeat. Jan Siewert became the ninth manager to lose his opening four games in the Premier League.
