Comments:

Huddersfield Town had now lost five of their last seven opening games of a league season (won two) and failed to score in all five defeats. The Terriers had now won one of their last 11 games in the Premier League (lost six, scored three). Huddersfield Town scored 28 goals in the Premier League in the previous season; a joint-low with relegated Swansea City. They failed to score in 21 of their 38 games.

Comments:

This was Chelsea's biggest-winning margin in their first Premier League game under a new manager since 2008 when Luiz Felipe Scolari was in charge for a 4-0 win against Portsmouth. The Blues had not now lost an opening weekend away game in the Premier League since 1998 (2-1 at Coventry City) and had now won six and drawn one of their seven away opening games. N'Golo Kante's opener for Chelsea was his first Premier League goal since 9 September 2017, and his fourth in 107 appearances in the competition. Jorginho became the 19th player to score on their Premier League debut for Chelsea; more players had now scored on their Premier League debut for Chelsea than for any other club. Jorginho also became the eighth player to score a penalty on his Premier League debut (also Brian Deane, Alan Thompson, Fabrizio Ravanelli, Peter Kennedy, Adam Le Fondre, Roberto Soldado and Alexandre Pato). Chelsea became the third team to reach a total of 800 away points in the Premier League (Manchester United 925, 802 Chelsea and 800 Arsenal).
