Comments:

League position: 1st West Ham United had now won their opening two games of a season in the Premier League for the second time; also in 1997-98. They had now scored four or more goals in each of their first two games of a league season for the first time since 1953-54 in League Division Two. With his 48th and 49th goals, Michail Antonio became the Hammers' leading goalscorer in the Premier League; previously Paolo Di Canio (47 goals). Pablo Fornals had now scored three goals in his last three league appearances for the first time in his career.

Comments:

League position: 12th Despite conceding one goal in each of eight of their last 13 away games in the Premier League, Leicester City had now conceded four goals in each of three of their last six games in the division. Following a VAR review for serious foul play, Ayoze Pérez was sent-off for the first time in his career. The Foxes had now won one of the 15 away games they had played in the Premier League on a Monday.
