Comments:

League position: 14th Newcastle United had now won five of their last seven home games in the Premier League against teams starting the day in the top two in the table (lost two). They had lost all eight of their previous games in this Premier League season against teams currently in the top six. Matt Ritchie's penalty was the first scored by the Magpies in the Premier League since Georginio Wijnaldum against Tottenham Hotspur in May 2016.

Comments:

League position: 2nd Reigning champions Manchester City had now dropped 16 points so far in this Premier League season, so could not now reach the same total as the previous season (98 points was now their maximum total for the 2018-19 season). In manager Pep Guardiola's 100th Premier League game in charge, the Citizens had now lost three of their last seven games in the division despite scoring the first goal in those defeats. Sergio Agüero's goal was timed at 24 seconds. It was City's quickest goal in a game in the Premier League since Jesus Navas scored after 13 seconds of their 6-0 win against Tottenham Hotspur on 24 November 2013.
