This was the newly-promoted Blades' second defeat in their last 21 games (won 12). United had taken now have four points from their opening three games of this season. It took until their seventh game to reach the same total in their last season in the Premier League (2006-07).

Comments:

League position: 3rd Sheffield-born Jamie Vardy, who played for Sheffield Wednesday during his youth career, had now scored ten goals in his 13 appearances in the Premier League since manager Brendan Rodgers' took in charge in March 2019.
