Comments:

League position: 2nd Arsenal failed in their attempt to win their first two games of a league season without conceding a goal for the first time since 1971-72 in League Division One. Gabriel Jesus became the first player to score two or more goals on his home league debut for the Gunners since George Eastham against Bolton Wanderers on 10 December 1960 in League Division One. [c/o Tom Ede]. They scored four or more goals in their first home game of a league season for the first time since 2017-18 in a 4-3 win against Leicester City in the Premier League.

Comments:

League position: 14th Leicester City had now conceded four or more goals in their first away game in consecutive seasons in the Premier League (also 4-1 at West Ham United in the previous season). The Foxes had now kept a clean sheet in one of their last 27 away games in the Premier League. 64 goals were scored in City's away games in the Premier League in 2021-22 (for 28, against 36); more than any other team except Leeds United (also 64).
