Comments:

League position: 11th Newcastle United had now won consecutive games in the Premier League for the first time since June 2020. They had now won three and lost five of their last eight home games in the Premier League. Timed at 19 seconds, Miguel Almirón's opening goal became the Magpies' second quickest-ever goal in the Premier League after Alan Shearer against Manchester City on 18 January 2003 (11 seconds).

Comments:

League position: 19th West Bromwich Albion had now scored four goals in their last nine games in the Premier League. Albion had now lost five of their six away games so far in this Premier League season (drawn one). Conor Gallagher failed in his attempt to become the first player to score in three consecutive games in the Premier League for the Baggies since Salomón Rondón in August 2016.
