Comments:

League position: 7th Watford had now taken 50 points, scored 50 goals and conceded 50 goals so far in this Premier League season (played 35). The Hornets had now lost one of their last nine home games in all competitions (won five). They had now failed to keep a clean sheet in their last nine games in the Premier League; the longest current such run in the division.

Comments:

League position: 16th Shane Long's opening goal was officially timed at 7.69 seconds to become the fastest goal in the history of the Premier League. The previous record holder was Tottenham Hotspur's Ledley King whose goal at Bradford City on 9 December 2000 was officially timed at 9.82 seconds. The fastest goal in the top division is thought to be 7 seconds by Bobby Langton for Preston North End at Manchester City on 25 August 1948 in League Division One, although this would be on the estimation of the referee. The Saints had now won one of their last six away games in the Premier League (lost three). They had now taken 37 points from their 35 games so far in this Premier League season; five more points than at the same stage of the previous season.
