Comments:

League position: 1st Leicester City had now won their first three games of a year in the top division for the first time since 1968 in League Division One. The Foxes had now won all ten games so far in this Premier League season when they had scored the opening goal. City had now scored two goals in each of five of their last six games in the Premier League (one in the other).

Comments:

League position: 8th Since the start of the previous season, Newcastle United (52) were now the only team to concede more goals in away games in the Premier League than Chelsea (50). The Blues had now scored more than one goal in one of their last eight games in the Premier League. Since going to the top of the table on 5 December 2020, they had now lost five of their eight games in the Premier League (won two). Chelsea were awarded a penalty after 38 minutes but was reversed after a VAR review due to a foul being committed outside of the area.
