Comments:

League position: 15th Aston Villa had now lost four consecutive games in the Premier League for the first time since March 2020. Villa had now conceded three or more goals in five of their ten games so far in this Premier League season. They had now conceded three or more goals in three consecutive league games for the first time since December 2012. Ezri Konsa was initially shown a yellow card after 47 minutes but was upgraded to a red card following a VAR review for the denial of a goalscoring opportunity.

Comments:

League position: 4th West Ham United were now unbeaten in eight consecutive away games in the top division for the first time since November 1986 in League Division One.

Aged 21 years and 280 days, Ben Johnson became their youngest scorer in an away game in the Premier League since Ravel Morrison at Norwich City on 9 November 2013 (20 years and 280 days).
