Comments:

League position: 18th Watford had now lost eight and drawn one of their last nine games in all competitions. The Hornets became the first team to fail to keep a clean sheet in 16 consecutive home games in the Premier League since Aston Villa in October 2013. They equalled their club record of five consecutive home defeats in the top division; also from February to April 1988 in League Division One.

Comments:

League position: 17th With their 100th away win in the top division, during their time in the Premier League, Norwich City finished a day outside of the bottom three of the division for the first time since 4 October 2019. City scored three or more goals in an away game in the Premier League for the first time since a 3-1 win at Sunderland on 15 August 2015. Josh Sargent became the first player to score two or more goals for the Canaries in an away game in the Premier League since Grant Holt at Swansea City on 11 February 2012.
