Comments:

League position: 17th Southampton completed a run of nine consecutive Premier League games without a win for the first time since January 2005. The Saints had now kept only two clean sheets at home so far in this Premier League season against Swansea City and West Bromwich Albion who now filled the bottom two positions. Shane Long scored for the first time in his last 37 games for club and country since scoring for Southampton in their 4-0 win at Sunderland on 11 February 2017.

Comments:

League position: 14th Crystal Palace had now lost one of their last 11 games in the Premier League (won four). Only Everton (12) had now won more points from losing positions so far in this Premier League season than Palace (11). James McArthur had now scored five goals in all competitions for Crystal Palace so far in this season to equal his highest career total in a season (also 2016-17).
