Comments:

League position: 2nd Everton had now won four of their opening five league games in a season for the first time since 1978-79 under manager Gordon Lee. They had now won four consecutive Premier League games for the first time since April 2014. In this game, Gareth Barry became only the third player to make 600 appearances in the Premier League after Ryan Giggs (632) and Frank Lampard (609). He marked the notable landmark with his 52nd Premier League goal. Romelu Lukaku scored in the first minute of added time in the first half. Gareth Barry was booked in the second minute of added time in the first half. Tom Cleverley replaced Gareth Barry in the first minute of added time in the second half.

Comments:

League position: 11th Middlesbrough conceded three goals in a game for the first time since 7 November 2015 (0-3 at Hull City in the League Championship). This was Boro's first defeat in their last seven away league games. All five of their goals so far in this season's Premier League had been scored in the first-half.
