Comments:

League position: 7th Brighton and Hove Albion failed in their attempt to win their first three games of a league season for the fourth time; previously in 1951-52, 1953-54 and 2011-12. Had they avoided defeat, Albion would have set a new club record of seven consecutive home games in the Premier League without defeat. Neal Maupay failed in his attempt to become the first player to score in each of the Seagulls' first three games of a league season since Nicky Forster in 2008-09 in League One.

Comments:

League position: 4th Everton had now kept a clean sheet in six of their last nine away games in the Premier League. Demarai Gray had now scored in consecutive games in the Premier League for the first time since December 2017 for Leicester City. The Toffees converted a penalty in consecutive games in the Premier League for the first time since November 2017. Everton named only eight of a possible nine substitutes.
