Comments:

League position: 14th Leeds United avoided losing their first two games of a season in the top division for the first time since 1980-81 in League Division One. Raphinha became the first player score in three consecutive games against Everton in all competitions for the Whites since Peter Lorimer in January 1978. This was the first time they had conceded more than one goal in a home game in the Premier League since the 2-1 defeat by Everton on 3 February 2021.

Comments:

League position: 3rd Everton had now remained unbeaten in their opening two games in each of the last ten seasons in the Premier League. Lucas Digne became the 43rd player to start 100 games for the Toffees in the Premier League. Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s goal was the 100th penalty that Everton had converted in the Premier League. [c/o Steve Johnson; Everton – The Official Complete Record] Everton were awarded a penalty after 30 minutes following a VAR review.
