Comments:

League position: 4th As he was appointed manager of Chelsea four days later, this was Graham Potter's final game in charge of Brighton and Hove Albion. They won 42 (31.1%) and lost 47 of his 135 games in all competitions. This was the third time that Albion had scored four or more goals in a game in the Premier League; previously 4-1 versus Swansea City on 24 February 2018 and 4-0 v Manchester United on 7 May 2022 (played 196). With 13 points from their first six games, the Seagulls had now equalled their best start to a season in the top division (also 2021-22). They had now won seven and lost none of their last ten games in the Premier League played on a Sunday. Brighton and Hove Albion named eight of a possible nine substitutes. Alexis Mac Allister scored in the 47th minute but the goal was disallowed after a VAR review due to an offside decision.

Comments:

League position: 20th Leicester City had now lost five of their first six games of a league season for the first time since 1990-91 in League Division Two (won one). This was the first time that City had conceded five or more goals in a game since a 6-3 loss at Manchester City in the Premier League on 26 December 2021. Kelechi Iheanacho's opening goal was timed at 52 seconds. It was the first time that the Foxes had scored in the first minute of an away game in the top division since David Nish opened the scoring in a 3-2 defeat at Manchester United in League Division One on 17 May 1969.
