Comments:

League position: 17th Watford had now won two of their last 12 games in the Premier League (lost seven) with their first victory in the last six. 701 goals had now been scored in the Hornets' 262 games in the Premier League (scored 271, conceded 430). With his first goal in the division for Watford, Danny Welbeck scored his first goal in the Premier League since 25 August 2018 for Arsenal against West Ham United. He had now scored at least one goal in each of the last ten seasons in the competition.

Comments:

League position: 20th Norwich City had now lost their last seven games in all competitions. The Canaries had now failed to score more than one goal in each of their last 14 games in the Premier League. Due to Watford winning this game, City and AFC Bournemouth were now the only teams yet to win after conceding the first goal in a game so far in this Premier League season.
