Comments:

League position: 12th Leicester City avoided losing consecutive home games in the Premier League for the first time since September 2017. The Foxes failed in their attempt to equal the club record of five wins in the opening ten games of a Premier League season. Wilfried Ndidi scored his first goal in the Premier League since 6 May 2017 against Watford. After 89 minutes and having used all their three substitutions, City were reduced to ten men when Daniel Amartey had to leave the pitch due to a serious leg injury.

Comments:

League position: 13th Fabian Balbuena became the fifth different Paraguayan player to score in the Premier League, and the first since Antolin Alcaraz for Wigan Athletic against Blackburn Rovers in May 2012. Mark Noble became the first West Ham United player to be shown five red cards in the Premier League. The previous club record was held by Steve Lomas (four). The Hammers' only clean sheet in their last 14 away games in the Premier League came in the 2-0 win at Leicester City in May 2018.
