Burnley finally fall at the Amex
- Burnley lost at the Amex for the first time in the Premier League, ending their six-game unbeaten run at the stadium.
Burnley’s struggles continued as their once-reliable trips to the Amex Stadium failed to offer respite. The Clarets were previously unbeaten at the ground, having collected two wins and four draws across six previous Premier League visits.
That record was broken, however, as Brighton secured a comfortable 2-0 victory, condemning Burnley to another defeat. The result stretched their winless league run to 11 matches, with losses in nine of those games deepening their ongoing slump.
Relief at last for Wolves
- Wolves won their first Premier League game since April.
Wolves fans rejoice. You have finally won a Premier League game.
Wolves, who had failed to win in 23 matches dating back to April, destroyed the hapless Hammers 3-0 to finally stamp a win on the board and extend their unbeaten run to two games following a prior draw at Old Trafford.
Sweeter still, the win came against their former boss Nuno Santo, who suffered a Premier League defeat against his former club for the first time.
Whisper it quietly…is the great escape on?
Villa bounce back
- Aston Villa have won 11 successive home games for the first time since 1989-1990.
Aston Villa showed there were no lasting scars from their heavy defeat at Arsenal as they responded with a 3-1 win at home to Nottingham Forest. The win lifted Unai Emery’s side level on points with second-placed Manchester City, and keeps them six points off Arsenal.
Villa’s dominance at Villa Park continued as they recorded an 11th consecutive home win in all competitions, a feat they had not achieved since October 1989 to January 1990.
The result also extended their formidable home record against Nottingham Forest, remaining unbeaten in their last seven Premier League meetings at Villa Park, stretching back to 1994.
Clean sheets elude Man United
- Manchester United have gone 15 consecutive away games without a clean sheet for the first time ever in the Premier League.

Hat-trick hero
- Igor Thiago became the seventh Brazilian to score a Premier League hat-trick.
Igor Thiago scored a stunning hat-trick as Brentford secured an impressive 4-2 win away to Everton as the Bees moved to within one point of 4th place.
The striker had been enduring a brief goal drought, having failed to score in his last six matches, but emphatically ended that run by firing three past Jordan Pickford to take his tally to 14 league goals in just 20 appearances this season – only Erling Haaland has scored more (19).
Thiago’s treble also saw him enter exclusive company, becoming only the seventh Brazilian to score a Premier League hat-trick, following in the footsteps of Afonso Alves, Lucas Moura, Robinho, Roberto Firmino, Gabriel Jesus, and Matheus Cunha.
Goalmaraes
- Bruno Guimaraes has already matched his highest-ever Premier League tally for a season.
Bruno Guimaraes has been in fine form in front of goal of late, scoring four goals in his last seven games, including the opener in the 2-0 win over Crystal Palace.

Spurs’ 15 game streak
- Tottenham are now unbeaten in their last 15 Premier League games against Sunderland.
Tottenham were forced to settle for a point after surrendering a 1-0 lead to Sunderland, who struck back with an 80th-minute equaliser.
Although the result fell short of what the inconsistent Spurs would have hoped for, it maintained their remarkable unbeaten record in this fixture, stretching to 15 Premier League games over the past 15 years.
Spurs have also now scored in 62 of their last 63 games against promoted sides.
Late late show at Craven Cottage
- Liverpool’s second goal against Fulham was the fourth-latest strike in Premier League history to hand a side the lead without going on to win the game.
Fulham and Liverpool shared the spoils in an absorbing 2-2 draw in the capital, with late drama at both ends of the pitch. Liverpool looked to have snatched all three points when Cody Gakpo struck in the 94th minute, only for the hosts to rescue a point thanks to a sensational 97th-minute equaliser from Harrison Reed: his first goal since 2023.
The dramatic swing added an unwanted footnote for Liverpool with Gakpo’s strike the fourth-latest goal on record (since 2006-07) to give a team the lead in a Premier League match without ultimately securing victory.
Enzo to the rescue
- Only Cole Palmer (35) has more goal involvements across all competitions for Chelsea since the start of last season than Enzo Fernández (34).
