Comments:

League position: 17th With their first win in their seventh game of this Premier League season, Fulham avoided making their worst seven-game start to a season in the top division. In 1951-52 in League Division One, they drew two and lost five. The Whites avoided equalling their club record of five consecutive home defeats in Premier League set in August 2013. With this result, Sheffield United were now the only team that had yet to keep a clean sheet so far in this Premier League season.

Comments:

League position: 18th West Bromwich Albion had now failed to win any of their first seven games of a league season for the first time since 2004-05 in the Premier League. With three points so far in 2020-21, they had now made their worst seven-game start to a league season since 1985-86 in League Division One. The Baggies had now kept a clean sheet in two of their last 11 league games. Albion had now won one of their 15 away games in the Premier League played on a Monday (lost eight).
