Comments:

League position: 3rd Leeds United avoided failing to keep a clean sheet in 14 consecutive home games in the top division for the first time since August 1956. Rodrigo became the fourth player to score in all of United’s first three games of a season in the top division after Arthur Hydes in 1933-34 and Mick Jones in 1968-69 in League Division One, and Patrick Bamford in 2020-21 in the Premier League. [c/o Jonny Cooper] 700 goals had now been scored in their 274 home games in the Premier League (for 409, against 291).

Comments:

League position: 12th Chelsea trailed by two or more goals at half-time in a game in the Premier League for the first time since a 2-0 loss at Leicester City on 19 January 2021. The Blues had now conceded five goals after their first three games of this season in the Premier League. It wasn’t until their 13th game that they had conceded five goals in the previous season. They failed to score for the second time in their last 19 games in the Premier League.
