Comments:

League position: 1st Everton failed in their attempt to win their first five games of a league season for the first time since 1938-39 in League Division One. Dominic Calvert-Lewin became the first player to score in the Toffees' opening five league games of a season since Tommy Lawton in 1938-39 in League Division One. They had now failed to keep a clean sheet in seven consecutive home games in the Premier League for the first time since November 2015.

Comments:

League position: 2nd Liverpool avoided losing consecutive games in the Premier League for the first time since September 2015 and for the first time under manager Jürgen Klopp. In his 159th game, Mohamed Salah had now scored 100 goals for the Reds; only Roger Hunt (144) and Jack Parkinson (153) had reached the milestone in fewer appearances. 38 goals had now been scored in their last seven games in the Premier League (for 21, against 17). Jordan Henderson scored in the second minute of added time at the end of the game but the goal was disallowed after a VAR review due to an offside decision.
