Comments:

League position: 14th Newcastle United had now won five consecutive home games in the Premier League for the first time since March 2019. Bruno Guimarães became the first player to score two or more goals in a game for the Magpies in this Premier League season. The Toon had now won two of the eight games they had played on a Sunday so far in this Premier League season (lost six). Bruno Guimarães first goal was initially disallowed for a foul on the goalkeeper but the decision was subsequently overturned following a VAR review.

Comments:

League position: 9th Leicester City had now lost six of their last eight away games in the Premier League (won one). The Foxes had now conceded two goals in each of 13 of their last 26 games in the Premier League. Ademola Lookman had now scored six league goals for one club in a season for the first time in his career.
