Comments:

League position: 11th Southampton avoided equalling their club record of five consecutive defeats in the top division. The Saints scored more than one goal in the first-half of a Premier League game for the first time in this season. This was their biggest home win in the Premier League since a 4-1 victory against Crystal Palace on the final day of the previous season.

Comments:

League position: 15th With five wins and 11 defeats, Leicester City had now equalled the worst record by reigning champions after 22 games in a top division season (also Ipswich Town in 1962-63). The Foxes had now scored one goal in their last five Premier League games. City remained without a win in 13 away games in the Premier League since April 2016 (lost eight).
