Comments:

League position: 7th Wolverhampton Wanderers had now won three consecutive games in the top division for the first time since March 1980. Their total of seven wins so far in this Premier League season was already two more than in the whole of their most recent season in the division (2011-12). Raúl Jiménez’s goal was the first scored at Molineux in the first-half of a game in the Premier League since Ruben Neves' in the 44th minute against Everton on 11 August 2018 (the opening day of the season). Wolves had now taken a total of 101 points from their home games in the Premier League (played 85, won 27, lost 38).

Comments:

League position: 11th AFC Bournemouth now had lost six of their last seven games in the Premier League. They had taken 13 points from the six games prior to this run. The Cherries had now failed to score in consecutive games in the Premier League for the second time in 2018. Since keeping three consecutive clean sheets in the Premier League in October, they had now conceded in each of their last seven games in the division (16 goals in total).
