Comments:

League position: 15th Newcastle United had now lost five consecutive home league games for the first time since October 1953. The Magpies had now won one of their last 11 games in the Premier League (lost nine). They had now taken 18 points from their 20 games so far in this Premier League season; one more than after 20 games in 2015-16 when they were relegated. Jonjo Shelvey made the 300th appearance of his club career in this game.

Comments:

League position: 1st Manchester City became the first team to win 18 consecutive league games in the top four divisions. The Citizens set a new club record of 20 unbeaten league games against the same opponent (they went 19 unbeaten versus Barnsley between 1898 and 1987). They had now equalled the top division record of 11 consecutive away wins set by Chelsea from April to December in 2008. Raheem Sterling’s goal was City’s 200th under manager Pep Guardiola in the 85th game of his reign.
