This defeat ended a club record run of nine consecutive away wins in all competitions. Chris Smalling became the 23rd player to make 200 appearances for the Red Devils in the Premier League. At 17 years and 159 days, Mason Greenwood became the second-youngest player to appear for United in the Premier League. Angel Gomés was 16 years and 263 days when he made his debut in the competition against Crystal Palace on 21 May 2017.
