More: background

The Premier League is England’s top‑flight football competition, where each team plays others both at home and away. An “away win” means the visiting team wins on the opponent’s ground. An “own goal” occurs when a player inadvertently scores against his own team, as happened with Brighton’s Pascal Gross.
