Comments:

League position: 20th Norwich City had now lost ten of their last 13 games in the Premier League (won two). 501 goals had now been scored in the Canaries' 191 home games in the Premier League (for 237, against 264). They had now scored eight goals in second-half of their 27 games so far in this Premier League season; the fewest in division. Milot Rashica scored in the 67th minute but the goal was disallowed after a VAR review due to an offside decision.

Comments:

League position: 15th Ivan Toney became the first player to score a hat-trick for Brentford in the top division since Bobby Reid in a 4-3 win at Liverpool in League Division One on 6 November 1937. Ivan Toney had now scored from all 16 of the penalties he had taken for the Bees in all competitions. They avoided losing six consecutive away league games for the first time since January 2007 in League One. Bryan Mbuemo scored in the 76th minute but the goal was disallowed after a VAR review due to an offside decision.
