Comments:

League position: 11th Wolverhampton Wanderers had now lost three consecutive home league games for the first time since February 2017. Wolves had now scored only two goals in the first-half of the Premier League games so far this season; fewer than any other team in the division. At 19 years and 230 days, Rúben Vinagre became Wolves’ second youngest-ever starter in a Premier League game after Anthony Forde (18 years and 41 days versus Arsenal on 27 December 2011).

Comments:

League position: 14th This was the second time that Huddersfield Town had won an away game in the Premier League without conceding a goal; also their debut game in the division (a 3-0 win at Crystal Palace on 12 August 2017). The Terriers ended a run of 22 consecutive games in the Premier League when they had failed to score more than one goal since a 2-1 win at West Bromwich Albion on 24 February 2018. Only Sunderland had a longer such run in the competition (25 games ending in September 2005). Christopher Schindler became the first player to make 50 appearances for the Terriers in the Premier League.
