Comments:

League position: 1st Arsenal remained as the only team in the Premier League and Football League with a 100% record in this season. The Gunners had now won their first four games of a season in the Premier League for the first time since 2004-05. This was manager Mikel Arteta's 100th game in charge in the Premier League (won 53, lost 31).

Comments:

League position: 11th Fulham failed in their attempt to remain unbeaten after the first four games of a season in the top division for a second time (previously in 2010-11). The newly-promoted Whites had now lost five of their last 11 league games (won three). Aleksandar Mitrović became the eighth player to score 100 goals for Fulham in all competitions (18 in the Premier League, 81 in the League Championship and one in the League Cup in 178 appearances).
