Comments:

League position: 10th Newcastle United lost consecutive games in the Premier League for the first time since December 2017. This was the Magpies first defeat in their last eight home games in the Premier League since a 0-1 loss to Manchester City on 27 December 2017 (won four). This was manager Rafael Benitez's first defeat in the Premier League against West Bromwich Albion (played nine, won seven). Stoke City now became the team he had faced the most in the competition without a defeat (played seven).

Comments:

League position: 20th West Bromwich Albion's relegation to the League Championship would have been confirmed had they not won this game. The Baggies were now unbeaten in six games in this Premier League season under caretaker managers Gary Megson (two) and Darren Moore (four) but lost 18 of 30 games in 2017-18 in the competition under permanent managers Tony Pulis (six) and Alan Pardew (12). Albion had now won consecutive away games in the Premier League for the first time since September 2015.
