Comments:

League position: 1st Liverpool had now won 12 consecutive league games for the second time in their history; previously from April to October 1990 in League Division One. The Reds remained unbeaten in their last 42 games in the Premier League at Anfield since April 2017 (won 32). Since the start of the 2017-18 season, only Tottenham Hotspur's Harry Kane had now scored two or more goals in a game in the Premier League (12) more often than Mohamed Salah (ten).

Comments:

League position: 2nd Arsenal remained without a win in their last 23 away games in the Premier League against the other big six teams (lost 15) since a 2-0 win at Manchester City on 18 January 2015. The Gunners failed in their attempt to win their first three games of a season in the Premier League for the first time since 2004-05. Since the start of the previous season, Arsenal had now conceded eight penalties in their away games in the Premier League. Only Brighton and Hove Albion (ten) had conceded more.
