Comments:

League position: 11th Southampton scored four or more goals in a home game in the Premier League for the first time since a 4-1 win against Everton on 26 November 2017. The Saints had now scored four goals in the opening five minutes of their games so far in this Premier League season; more than any other team in the division. They had now won the first league game of a year in three consecutive seasons for the second time; also from 1969 to 1971 in League Division One.

Comments:

League position: 13th This was Brentford's heaviest league defeat since a 5-0 loss at Norwich City on 3 December 2016 in the League Championship. The Bees had now conceded the opening goal in 12 of their last 13 games in the Premier League. 54 goals has now been scored in their 20 games in the Premier League (for 24, against 30).
