Comments:

League position: 20th Fulham had now conceded three or more goals in each of their first three games of a league season for the first time since 1956-57 in League Division Two (12 goals). The Whites had now conceded two or more goals in 17 of their last 21 games in the Premier League. They had now lost their opening three games of a league season for the first time since 2014-15 in the League Championship. Bobby Decordova-Reid scored after 56 minutes but the goal was disallowed after a VAR review due to a foul.

Comments:

League position: 4th Aston Villa led by two goals after 15 minutes of a game in the Premier League for the first time since 15 May 2011 at Arsenal (won 2-1). Jack Grealish became the first player to score in three consecutive appearances in away games in all competitions for Villa since Christian Benteke in April 2015. They ended a run of 26 away games in the Premier League without keeping a clean sheet since a goalless draw at West Bromwich Albion on 23 January 2016.
