Comments:

League position: 13th With two wins and five draws, Ipswich Town in 1962 were now the only reigning league champions to make a worse 13-game start to the defence of their title than Leicester City (three wins and four draws) The Foxes avoided losing three consecutive Premier League games for the first time since February 2015. Since the start of the 2015-16 season, City had now taken (18) and now scored (14) more penalties than any other Premier League team. Islam Slimani scored from the penalty spot in the fourth minute of added time in the second half.

Comments:

League position: 15th Middlesbrough conceded two penalties after a run of 48 league games without conceding one.

Boro had now lost only one of their seven away games in this Premier League season (drawn five). Víctor Valdes was booked in the second minute of added time in the second half.
