Comments:

League position: 4th Arsenal had now won 16 of their last 18 games in the Premier League played in May (lost one) including all of the last eight. Eddie Nketiah became the second player to score two or more goals in the opening ten minutes of a game in the Premier League for the Gunners after Nwankwo Kanu against Sunderland on 6 October 2002. They had now failed to keep a clean sheet in their last seven games in the Premier League.

Comments:

League position: 18th Leeds United had now lost all 11 of their games so far in this Premier League season against the teams currently in the top six (for eight goals, conceded 44). The Whites failed in their attempt to keep a clean sheet in three consecutive away games in the Premier League for the first time since December 1996. They had now conceded 701 goals in the Premier League (played 541, scored 742). Luke Ayling was shown a yellow card in the 25th minute but was upgraded to a red card following a VAR review.
