Comments:

League position: 11th Arsenal had now lost consecutive home games in the Premier League without scoring for the first time since February 1993. The Gunners had now failed to keep a clean sheet in their last seven home games in the Premier League. They conceded three or more goals in a home game in the Premier League for the first time since 15 December 2019 against Manchester City (0-3).

League position: 6th Aston Villa had now won their opening three away games in a season in the top division for the first time in their history. Only Dean Saunders (seven) and Dion Dublin (nine) had now scored more goals in their first seven appearances for Villa in the Premier League than Ollie Watkins (six). Villa remained as the only team that had yet to concede a goal in an away game so far in this Premier League season. They were the only team not to keep a clean sheet in an away game in the previous season in the Premier League. John McGinn scored in the first minute but the goal was disallowed after a VAR review due to an offside decision.
