Comments:

Following the departure of Enzo Maresca, this was new manager Steve Cooper’s first game in charge. . Leicester City were now unbeaten in their last ten opening games of a league season that was played at home (won six). . Aged 37 years and 221 days, Jamie Vardy had now become the Foxes’ oldest-ever scorer in the Premier League.

Comments:

Tottenham Hotspur had now won five and drawn one of their seven opening games of a Premier League season against a newly promoted team. . Spurs had now scored in 47 of their last 51 games in the Premier League. . They had now won 16 of their last 19 games in the Premier League against newly promoted teams (lost one). . Rodrigo Bentancur’s replacement in the 78th minute was regarded as a concussion substitution, therefore allowing both teams the possibility to make six substitutions during the game.
