Comments:

League position: 12th Wolverhampton Wanderers failed in their attempt to win three consecutive games in the Premier League for the first time since June 2020. Wolves conceded four or more goals in a game at Molineux in all competitions for the first time since the 5-2 defeat by Chelsea in the Premier League on 14 September 2019 when Tammy Abraham scored a hat-trick. They had now taken 41 points from their 33 games so far in this Premier League season; 11 fewer points than at the same stage of the previous season.

Comments:

League position: 14th This was Burnley's biggest away win in the top division since a 4-0 victory at Sunderland on 13 November 1965 in League Division One. Chris Wood scored the Clarets' second hat-trick in the Premier League after Andre Gray against Sunderland on 31 December 2016. He scored the first first-half hat-trick in the Premier League since Liverpool's Michael Owen at Newcastle United on 30 August 1998. This was the fifth time in their 261 games in the Premier League that they had scored four or more goals. Matěj Vydra scored after 49 minutes but the goal was disallowed after a VAR review due to an offside decision.
