Comments:

League position: 19th This was West Bromwich Albion's first home win in the Premier League since the visit of Sheffield United on 28 November 2020; longer than any other team currently in the division. The Baggies had now kept clean sheets in consecutive league games for the first time since June 2020 in the League Championship. Albion had now remained unbeaten in three consecutive league games for the first time since July 2020 in the League Championship.

Comments:

League position: 16th Brighton and Hove Albion were awarded a penalty after 19 minutes for handball following a VAR review but Pascal Gross missed the spot-kick. They were awarded a second penalty after 75 minutes but Danny Welbeck missed. They became the first team to fail with two penalties in a game in the Premier League since Manchester United at Norwich City on 27 October 2019. The Seagulls had now failed to score more than one goal in any of their last six games in the Premier League. Albion's only defeat in their preceding six away games in the Premier League was at leaders Manchester City (won two). Brighton and Hove Albion were awarded a goal after 29 minutes by Lewis Dunk but then overturned following a VAR review.
