Comments:

League position: 14th Leeds United had now scored one goal in five of their last six games in the Premier League and failed to score in the other game. Mateusz Klich's penalty after four minutes was saved. Following a VAR review, it was retaken due to goalkeeper Łukasz Fabiański being stood in front of the goalline. The Whites had scored three of their preceding eight penalties. This was the first time that they had lost a home game in the top division played on a Friday (played ten, won three).

Comments:

League position: 5th West Ham United had now taken 20 points from their opening 12 games of a season in the Premier League for the second time (also 2015-16, 21 points). The Hammers had now won four of the last nine away games in the Premier League (lost two). Aaron Cresswell became the 57th player to make 200 league appearances for West Ham United.
