Comments:

League position: 15th Newcastle United had now lost seven of their opening nine home games of this Premier League season. Having taken six points from those games, it became their worst-ever start after nine home games of a league season; previously eight points in 1957-58 in League Division One, on a three points for a win basis. Ten of the Magpies' 13 goals so far in this Premier League season had now been scored in the first-half of their 16 games. United had now conceded 500 goals in their home games in the Premier League (played 450, scored 742).

League position: 10th After 16 games, Wolverhampton Wanderers had now won six games in this Premier League season; more than they won in the whole of their last season in the division (five in 2011-12). This was the first time that Wolves had scored more than one goal in an away game in the Premier League since 13 May 2012 in 3-2 defeat at Wigan Athletic. They had now conceded 300 goals in the Premier League (played 168, scored 173).
