Comments:

League position: 11th Watford had now failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 16 games in the Premier League. This was the Hornets' first draw in their last 16 home league games (lost two). Ismaïla Sarr had now scored four goals after six games of this Premier League season. Josh King scored after 86 minutes but the goal was disallowed after a VAR review due to an offside decision.

Comments:

League position: 17th Newcastle United became the first team to fail to win any of their opening six games in six or more seasons in the Premier League. Sean Longstaff scored his first goal in the Premier League since the Magpies' visit to AFC Bournemouth on 1 July 2020. They had now not won consecutive games against newly-promoted teams in the Premier League since November 2015.
