Comments:

League position: 8th Wolverhampton Wanderers failed in their attempt to win four or more of their opening six games of a season in the top division for the first time since 1979-80 in League Division One. Since their promotion to the Premier League in 2018, Wolves had now failed to score in the first-half in 58 of their 82 games in the division; more than any other team in the same period. They had now failed to win any of their last seven games in the Premier League when they had not kept a clean sheet.

Comments:

League position: 14th Newcastle United had now scored three of their four goals in their away games so far in this Premier League season in the 87th minute or later. Jacob Murphy scored in his second goal in the Premier League; previously in the Magpies' 3-1 defeat at Manchester City on 20 January 2018. They had now kept a clean sheet in two of their last 14 games in the Premier League.
