Comments:

League position: 1st Arsenal had now won nine consecutive home games in all competitions and scored two or more goals in each win for the first time since November 2009. [c/o Tom Ede] They had now won nine of their last ten games in the Premier League (lost one). Gabriel Martinelli's opening goal was timed at 58 seconds. It became the Gunners’ quickest goal in the Premier League since Theo Walcott at Queens Park Rangers on 4 May 2013 after 21 seconds.

Comments:

League position: 10th Having taken ten points so far, Liverpool had now made their worst eight-game start to a season in the Premier League since 2012-13 (nine points). The Reds had now failed to win any of their opening four away games of a season in the Premier League for the first time since 2010-11. They had now lost seven of their last 84 games in all competitions (won 59).
