Comments:

League position: 6th Wolverhampton Wanderers had now lost 100 of their 223 games in the Premier League (won 61). Wolves became the last team to concede a goal in the Premier League since the season re-started in June. They had won five, drawn three and kept seven clean sheets in their preceding eight games in the Premier League.

Comments:

League position: 7th Arsenal had now won nine of their last 12 games in all competitions. At 18 years and 303 days, Bukayo Saka became the youngest Englishman to score in an away league game for the Gunners since Stewart Robson in a 3-2 win at Everton in League Division One on 26 March 1983 (18 years and 140 days). [c/o Harvey Downes] Alexandre Lacazette scored his first goal in an away game in the Premier League since 9 February 2019 in a 2-1 win at Huddersfield Town.
