Comments:

League position: 1st Manchester City had now equalled Liverpool's all-time record of 33 wins in the top division in a year that the Reds set League Division One in 1982. City's only bigger winning margin in a game in the top division was their 8-0 victory against Watford in the Premier League on 21 September 2019. They had now scored 102 goals in their 41 games in the Premier League in 2021 (conceded 29).

Comments:

League position: 16th This became Leeds United's second heaviest-ever league defeat after a 8-1 loss at Stoke City in League Division One on 27 August 1934. The Whites had now lost ten of their 21 games in the Premier League against a team that started the day at the top of the table (won two). 105 goals had now been scored in their 39 games in the Premier League in 2021 (for 49, conceded 56).
