Comments:

League position: 14th Newcastle United had now taken seven points from losing positions in their home games in the Premier League in 2019; only Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United (both eight) had now recovered more home points in the same period. This was the first score draw at St James' Park in the Premier League since the visit of Burnley on 31 January 2018. The Magpies had now won one of their last five home games in the Premier League (lost three). The attendance of 44,157 was the lowest for a league game at St James’ Park since 43,858 versus Wigan Athletic in the Premier League on 3 December 2012.

Comments:

League position: 20th As he was sacked seven days later, this was manager Javi Gracia's last game in charge. Will Hughes' goal after 78 seconds became Watford's second quickest goal in the Premier League after Etienne Capoue against Leicester City in November 2016 (32 seconds). The Hornets remained without a win in their last eight games in the Premier League (lost six); their longest such run since an 11-game sequence from November 2006 to January 2007. They had now scored 100 goals in the 116 away games in the Premier League (conceded 216).
