Comments:

League position: 6th Wolverhampton Wanderers avoided failing to score in three consecutive games in the Premier League for the first time since April 2012. Wolves had now scored 251 goals in their 225 games in the Premier League (conceded 364). Diogo Jota had now scored five goals after coming on as a substitute in all competitions so far in this season; more than any other player in the Premier League.

Comments:

League position: 11th Everton had now lost five of their last eight away games in the Premier League with their two wins being against teams in the bottom three. The Toffees had now failed to win any of their last 23 away games played on a Sunday (lost 18) or any of their nine games that had kicked-off at midday (lost seven). [c/o Steve Johnson, Everton: The Official Complete Record] After making his debut for Southampton against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the League Championship on 6 August 2005, Theo Walcott made the 500th appearance of his senior career in this game.
