Comments:

League position: 20th Sheffield United had now taken 200 points from their 187 games in the Premier League (won 50, lost 87). The Blades had now won seven of their last 13 games in all competitions (lost six). Aged 38 years and 198 days, Phil Jagielka became the second oldest-ever player to be sent off in the Premier League after Stuart Pearce for West Ham United against Everton on 31 March 2001 (38 years and 341 days). Phil Jagielka was initially shown a yellow card after 55 minutes but was upgraded to a red card following a VAR review.

Comments:

League position: 9th Aston Villa failed in their attempt to keep a clean sheet in four consecutive away games in the Premier League for the first time. Villa had now scored one goal in each of five of last seven games in the Premier League and none in the other two. They had now lost their last four games in the Premier League played on a Wednesday.
