Comments:

League position: 12th Wilfried Bony ended his longest run without a goal during his career in England after going 23 games for club and country without scoring since 26 December 2015. The former Swansea City forward had now scored four of his eight Premier League goals against them since leaving the Swans in January 2015. Stoke City were now unbeaten in five consecutive Premier League games for the first time since March 2014. The Potters had now won three consecutive Premier League games for the first time since March 2016.

Comments:

League position: 19th This was Swansea City’s 200th game in the Premier League (won 63 and lost 83). The Swans had now gone nine consecutive games without a win in the top division for the first time in their history. City had now lost four consecutive away games in the Premier League for the first time since their first four away games on reaching the top grade in 2011.
