Comments:

League position: 16th Watford had now taken six points in their last ten games in the Premier League (won one, lost six). The Hornets had now won six of their 32 games so far in this Premier League season; only bottom of the table Norwich City had won fewer (five). Ben Foster made his 100th consecutive start in the Premier League (all for Watford); the 19th player to do so in the competition’s history.

Comments:

League position: 13th Southampton created a new club record of eight away wins in a season in the top division; previously seven wins in five seasons, most recently in 2015-16 in the Premier League. With the opening goal, Danny Ings became the first Saints player to score 20 goals in a season in all competitions since Rickie Lambert (31 goals) in 2011-12 when they were a League Championship club. Southampton had now scored three or more goals in consecutive away games in the Premier League for the first time since March 2017 when the second game was a 4-3 win at Watford.
