Comments:

League position: 3rd Following former Manchester City players Geovanni and Robinho, Gabriel Jesus became the third Brazilian to score on both of his first two starts in Premier League games. He also became the first player to score two goals on his first home Premier League start for City since Stevan Jovetic in a 3-1 win against Liverpool on 25 August 2014. City had now kept only one clean sheet in their last 11 home games in all competitions. They had now won four of their last five home games in the Premier League (drawn one).

Comments:

League position: 17th Swansea City failed in their attempt to win three consecutive Premier League games for the first time since May 2015. They were also attempting to win three consecutive away games in the Premier League for the first time since August 2014. The Swans had now kept only one clean sheet in their 12 away games so far in this Premier League season. Gylfi Sigurðsson had now scored eight goals this Premier League season. His only higher tally in a Premier League season was 11 in 2015-16.
