Comments:

League position: 13th Southampton had now dropped 26 points from leading positions since the start of the 2017-18 season; more than any other team. They had now won only one of their last 14 home games in the Premier League (lost six). The Saints failed in their attempt to win consecutive games in the Premier League for the first time since April 2017. Pierre-Emile Højbjerg had now scored two goals in his last two games for Southampton after scoring one goal in his previous 64 appearances for the club in all competitions. Danny Ings had now scored in consecutive games in the Premier League for the first time since February 2015 for Burnley against West Bromwich Albion and Manchester United.

Comments:

League position: 14th Brighton and Hove Albion had now come back from two goals down to a earn a 2-2 draw in each of their last two games in the Premier League; also at home versus Fulham. Glenn Murray had now scored six penalties in the Premier League since the start of the 2017-18 season. Only Luka Milivojevic of Crystal Palace had scored more (seven) in the same period. Pascal Groß's injury absence from this game ended his run of being the only outfield player to play in all of the Seagulls' games in the Premier League.
