This was the Blades's heaviest home defeat since the 8-0 loss to Newcastle United on 24 September 2023. They became the first team to lose two home games in a season in the Premier League by a margin of five or more goals since Norwich City in 2021-22. . They had now conceded 59 goals in 23 games so far in this Premier League season; the most by any team at this stage of a season in the top division since Fulham in League Division One in 1965-66 (59). . Vinícius Souza scored in the first minute of added time at the end of the game but the goal was disallowed after a VAR review due to an offside decision.
