Comments:

League position: 16th Brighton and Hove Albion remained without a win in their last 11 home games in the Premier League (lost six). Albion had now won their last league game before Christmas in two of their last 13 seasons (lost seven). The Seagulls remained unbeaten in their six games in the Premier League against a team starting the day at the bottom of the table (won two).

Comments:

League position: 20th Sheffield United became the third team that had failed to win any of their opening 14 games of a Premier League season; also Swindon Town in 1993-94 (16th game) and Queens Park Rangers in 2012-13 (17th game). The Blades avoided losing nine consecutive away league games for the first time since November 1975 in League Division One. Jayden Bogle became the fifth player to score on his Premier League debut for United; also Brian Deane versus Manchester United on 15 August 1992, Willie Falconer versus Swindon Town on 14 August 1993, Rob Hulse versus Liverpool on 19 August 2006 and Billy Sharp versus AFC Bournemouth on 10 August 2019. On his 100th appearance for the Blades, John Lundstram was initially shown a yellow card after 38 minutes but was upgraded to a red card following a VAR review for serious foul play.
