Comments:

League position: 10th This was the first time that either team had scored three goals in the first 34 minutes of a North London derby in the Premier League. After Manchester United and Chelsea, Arsenal became the third team to win 600 games in the Premier League (played 1,120, lost 239). Aged 20 years and 21 days, Bukayo Saka became the Gunners' second-youngest scorer in a North London derby after Nicklas Bendtner in December 2007 (19 years and 340 days).

Comments:

League position: 11th Tottenham Hotspur avoided losing three consecutive league games by a margin of three or more goals for the first time in their history. Spurs had now conceded three or more goals in three consecutive games in the Premier League for the first time since September 2003. They became the second team to win their first three games of a season in the Premier League and then lose the next three games after Everton in 1993-94.
