Comments:

This was Nuno Espírito Santo's first game as Tottenham Hotspur manager. Including caretakers, Andre Villas-Boas now remained as the only one of their last seven managers not to win his first Premier League game in charge. SON Heung-Min had now only scored more goals against Southampton (11) than he had against Manchester City (seven) in all competitions for Spurs. Captain Hugo Lloris had now equalled Darren Anderton's club record of 299 apperanaces in the Premier League.

Comments:

Manchester City became the third reigning champions to lose their opening game of a Premier League season after Leicester City at Hull City in 2016-17 and Chelsea against Burnley in 2017-18. They failed in their attempt to create a new top division record of winning their opening game in 11 consecutive seasons; also ten by Aston Villa from 1891-92 to 1900-01 in League Division One. City had now conceded 600 goals in 463 away games in the Premier League (scored 660).
