Comments:

League position: 14th West Ham United failed in their attempt to win consecutive home games in the Premier League for the first time since December 2016. Only Stoke City (64) and Watford (60) had now conceded more goals in this Premier League season than the Hammers (59). They had now lost only one of their last seven home games in the Premier League (won three) after losing three of the previous six (won one).

Comments:

League position: 19th Stoke City were now without a win in their last ten games in the Premier League (lost five). Peter Crouch scored his 44th goal in the Premier League for the Potters to become the club's leading scorer in the competition (Jonathan Walters, 43). City had lost their preceding seven visits to London in the Premier League when they scored five goals and conceded 26.
