Comments:

League position: 16th Watford had now equalled their club record of 20 consecutive games in the top division without keeping a clean sheet; also from September 1999 to March 2000 in the Premier League. The Hornets were now without a win in their last four home games in the Premier League. They had now failed to score in their six defeats so far in this Premier League season.

Comments:

League position: 14th This was Southampton's first away win in the Premier League since their visit to Sheffield United on 6 March 2021; longer than any other current Premier League team (excluding newly-promoted Norwich City). Ralph Hasenhüttl had now won more games in the Premier League (37) as manager of the Saints than any of his predecessors. They avoided completing a run of ten consecutive away games without a win for the first time since September 2015.
