Comments:

League position: 17th Watford had now won consecutive games in the Premier League for the first time since January 2020. The only clean sheet that the Hornets had now kept in their last 12 games in the Premier League was in their 3-0 win against champions Liverpool on 29 February 2020. 32 year-old Troy Deeney converted two penalties in a game for the first time in his senior career.

Comments:

League position: 13th Newcastle United had now taken 43 points from their 35 games so far in this Premier League season; two more points than at the same stage of the previous season. Dwight Gayle scored United's 2,000th goal in their away games in the top division. The Magieps had now failed to keep a clean sheet in their last five games in the Premier League after keeping three in the three preceding games.
