Comments:

League position: 20th Fulham had now equalled their longest run without a win from the start of a season in the Premier League; also six games in 2011-12. The Whites had now lost the opening three home games of a league season for the first time in their history. Aboubakar Kamara became the first Fulham player to be shown a red card in the Premier League since André Zambo Anguissa at Manchester United on 8 December 2018.

Comments:

League position: 5th Crystal Palace had lost and failed to score in five of their preceding six away games in the Premier League. In his 33rd appearance in the competition, Jairo Riedewald scored his first goal in the Premier League. Wilfried Zaha had now scored five goals in his last six appearances in the Premier League; as many as in his previous 41 games in the division.
