Comments:

League position: 6th This was the first time that Arsenal had conceded three goals in the first-half of a home league game since 11 March 1989 in a 3-1 defeat to Nottingham Forest in League Division One. The Gunners completed a run of ten games without keeping a clean sheet in the Premier League for the first time since February 2002. This was their heaviest home defeat in the Premier League since a 3-0 loss to Chelsea on 29 November 2009. Arsenal had now lost more games in all competitions in 2018 than any other Premier League team (seven).

Comments:

League position: 1st Manchester City became the tenth club to play 800 games in the Premier League (won 351, lost 256). With Bernardo Silva’s opening goal, City became the first team to score 80 goals after 28 games of a top division season since Tottenham Hotspur in 1962-63. They had now lost one of their last 36 games in the Premier League (won 30). This was manager Pep Guardiola's 100th game in charge of Manchester City in all competitions (won 69).
