Comments:

League position: 17th West Ham United had now lost two consecutive home games in the Premier League against newly promoted teams for the first time since 2006-07. With André Ayew's 56th minute spot-kick being saved, the Hammers had now failed to score three of their last five penalties in the Premier League. They failed in their attempt to win consecutive games in the Premier League for the first time since January 2017.

Comments:

League position: 15th This was Newcastle United's first win in their last ten games in the Premier League (lost eight). The Magpies avoided spending Christmas Day in the Premier League's relegation zone for the first time. Had they lost this game, they would have equalled the club record of 12 defeats after 19 matches of a top division season which was set in 1977-78.
