Comments:

League position: 11th Wolverhampton Wanderers had now failed to win any of their last 25 games in the Premier League against teams in the top half of the table (lost 15). They conceded three goals in a game at Molineux for the first time since a 3-3 draw with Bristol City in the League Championship on 12 September 2017. Wolves had now lost three consecutive league games for the first time since March 2017 in the League Championship.

Comments:

League position: 4th Tottenham Hotspur remained unbeaten in their last 39 games in the Premier League against newly-promoted teams (won 36). Their last defeat against a newcomer was at Wolves on 10 February 2010. Érik Lamela had now scored eight goals in his last 12 appearances for Tottenham Hotspur. He had scored eight goals in his previous 72 appearances. Harry Kane had now scored against 27 of 28 opponents that he had faced in the Premier League. Cardiff City remained as the only team that he had failed to score against in the competition.
