Comments:

League position: 19th Arsenal had now lost their opening two games of a league season without scoring for the first time. The Gunners had now lost their opening home game in the Premier League in six of the last 11 seasons. They remained without a win in their last 17 games in the Premier League when they trailed at half-time (lost 13).

Comments:

League position: 1st Chelsea had now kept clean sheets in their first two games of a Premier League season for the first time since 2010-11. On his second debut for the club, Romelu Lukaku scored his first goal for the Blues (no goals in his 15-game first spell) nine years and 360 days after making his debut for them. They had now won five consecutive away London derbies in the Premier League for the first time since January 2006.
