Comments:

League position: 19th West Bromwich Albion had now conceded 70 goals in their 36 games so far in this Premier League season; more than any other team. Albion had now lost 20 league games in a season for the first time since 2008-09 in the Premier League. Hal Robson-Kanu scored his first goal in the Premier League since the Baggies’ 2-2 draw with Newcastle United at The Hawthorns on 28 November 2017.

Comments:

League position: 5th Liverpool had now scored 101 goals in their 55 games in the Premier League since 1 January 2020 (conceded 61). Alisson Becker became the first-ever goalkeeper to score for the Reds in a senior competition. He became the sixth goalkeeper to score a goal in the Premier League, but the first to score a winning goal. Roberto Firmino became the third Brazilian player to captain Liverpool, after Lucas Leiva and Philippe Coutinho. [c/o Michael Reid].
