Comments:

League position: 20th In their 18th game, this was Sheffield United's first win in this Premier League season. In the all-time history of the top division, only Bolton Wanderers in League Division One in 1902-03 had taken longer to record their first league win of the season (22nd game). Billy Sharp became the 14th player to score 100 league goals for the Blades, and the first since Keith Edwards in October 1984. United avoided losing six consecutive home league games for the first time in their history. Sheffield United were awarded a penalty after 72 minutes following a VAR review for handball. Sheffield United named only seven of a possible nine substitutes.

Comments:

League position: 15th Newcastle United remained without a win in their last six games in the Premier League (lost four). In Derby County's competition record low of a total of 11 points in the Premier League in 2007-08, their only victory of the season was a 1-0 home win against the Magpies. They had now scored one goal in their last six games in all competitions.
