Comments:

League position: 8th In equalling the competition record for the biggest-ever win in the Premier League, this was Liverpool's biggest win since a 9-0 victory against Crystal Palace in League Division One at Anfield on 12 September 1989. This was now the second time in their history that the Reds had five different goalscorers in the first-half of a competitive game; also against Higher Walton at Anfield on 3 September 1892 in the Lancashire League. [c/o Michael Reid] After conceding the opening goal in their preceding seven games in the Premier League, they scored two goals in the opening six minutes of a game in the division for the first time since 3 March 1996 in a 3-0 win against Aston Villa.

Comments:

League position: 16th After four games of the season, Manager Scott Parker was sacked three days after this game. It became the earliest managerial dismissal in the Premier League since Javi Gracia parted company with Watford in 2019-20 (also four games). This loss equalled newly-promoted AFC Bournemouth's heaviest-ever defeat; also 9-0 at Lincoln City in League Division Three on 18 December 1982. The Cherries had now conceded 16 goals in their last three games in the Premier League. Their goal difference of -14 was now the worst-ever after four games of a season in the top division. Adam Smith became the first player to be shown a yellow card in each of the first four games of a season in the Premier League since James Perch of Newcastle United in 2010.
