Comments:

League position: 14th This was AFC Bournemouth's first defeat in their last 12 home league games (won seven). The newly-promoted Cherries failed in their attempt to keep a clean sheet in four consecutive home league games for the first time since April 2010 in League Two. They had now lost 11 of their last 16 games in the Premier League (won three).

Comments:

League position: 1st After losing their first three games of the previous season, Arsenal had now won their first three games of a season in the Premier League for the first time since 2004-05. The Gunners had now kept a clean sheet in their opening two away games in a season in the Premier League for the first time since 1993-94. Martin Odegaard became the first player to score two goals in the first 11 minutes of a game in the Premier League for Arsenal since Nwankwo Kanu against Sunderland on 6 October 2002. Gabriel Jesus scored in the 72nd minute but the goal was disallowed after a VAR review due to an offside decision.
