Comments:

League position: 11th With this victory, Aston Villa ended a run of 15 consecutive games in the Premier League without a win (lost 14). This victory also ended Jack Grealish's competition record of losing in each of 20 consecutive appearances in the Premier League since May 2015. This was Villa's first win in a Premier League game played on a Friday since December 1997. They had since played five and lost two.

Comments:

League position: 9th Everton had now lost consecutive games in the Premier League against newly promoted teams for the first time since August 2011. This was the Toffees' third defeat in their last 14 games in the Premier League (won seven). They failed in their attempt to start a season with clean sheets in their opening three games in a season in the top division for the first time since 1912.
