Comments:

League position: 1st Everton had now won their opening four games of a league season for the first time since 1969-70 in League Division One. The Toffees had now won seven consecutive games in all competitions for the first time since April 1987. They had now scored four or more goals in four of their last five games in all competitions.

Comments:

League position: 14th Brighton and Hove Albion failed in their attempt to win two of their opening four games of a season in the top division for the first time. The Seagulls ended their club record run of eight unbeaten away games in the top division (won three). This was the firs time that Albion had conceded four or more goals in an away game since a 4-0 loss at Manchester City in the Premier League on 31 August 2019.
