Comments:

League position: 16th West Ham United had now won two of their last 12 games in the Premier League (lost eight). The Hammers had now taken 702 points from their 457 home games in the Premier League (won 196, lost 147). They avoided losing four consecutive games in the Premier League without scoring for the first time since October 2006. Having lost the last 20, this was the first time that the Hammers had avoided defeat after conceding the first goal in a game in the Premier League since 22 February 2019 in a 3-1 win against Fulham. Tomáš Souček scored after 34 minutes but the goal was disallowed after a VAR review due to an offside decision.

Comments:

League position: 4th With six games to play, Chelsea had now lost ten games so far in this Premier League season; their most since 2015-16 (12). The Blues had now conceded 601 goals in their 535 away games in the Premier League (scored 780). They had kept one clean sheet in their 16 away games so far in this Premier League season. Willian had now scored ten or more goals in all competitions for the fourth time in the last five seasons. He also became the first-ever player to score in all 12 months in games in the top division.
