Comments:

League position: 13th Southampton had now won consecutive games in the Premier League for the first time since December 2020. The Saints had now scored three or more goals in consecutive games in the Premier League for the first time since December 2018. In his 17th appearance in the division, 21 year-old Nathan Tella scored his first goal in the Premier League.

Comments:

League position: 18th Fulham had now lost 27 and drawn one of their 28 games in the Premier League since January 2019 when conceding the first goal. Aged 18 years and 260 days, Fabio Carvalho became the third-youngest player to score for the Whites in the Premier League after Ryan Sessegnon (18 years and 155 days) and Collins John (18 years and 176 days). They remained without a win in the Premier League since their visit to Liverpool on 7 March 2021; longer than any other team currently in the division.
