Comments:

League position: 12th Ten of Wolverhampton Wanderers' 12 wins so far in this Premier League season had now been by a single-goal margin. 702 goals had now been scored in Wolves' 262 games in the Premier League (286 for, 412 against). This was the first time that a starting XI of any team in a game in the Premier League included five players who were born on or after 1 January 2000. Adama Traoré had now scored all of his seven goals in the Premier League in the second-half of games.

Comments:

League position: 15th Brighton and Hove Albion had now scored than one goal in one of their last ten away games in the Premier League. Since making his Premier League debut in August 2017, no other recognised centre-back had now scored more goals in the division than Lewis Dunk (11). He also became the first player to be shown two red cards in this Premier League season. 77 goals had now been scored in Albion's 35 games so far in this Premier League season (36 for, 41 against); fewer than any other team except Fulham (70). Neal Maupay was shown a red card after the final whistle for foul and abusive language.
