Comments:

League position: 13th Excluding play-offs, this was the first time that Watford had won their final home game of a league season since 2011-12 versus Middlesbrough in the League Championship. This was the Hornets' first win in their last eight games in the Premier League (lost five). They scored more than one goal for the second time in their last 11 games in the Premier League.

Comments:

League position: 10th Newcastle United had now conceded 701 goals in their away games in the Premier League (played 440, scored 472). The Magpies had now won one of their last eight away games in all competitions. This was Rafael Benitez's 300th game as a manager in the Premier League.
