Comments:

League position: 2nd Manchester City failed in their attempt to win all of their opening ten home games of a Premier League season for a third time. This feat had only been achieved on five occasions in the competition's history. This defeat ended City's run of winning 15 consecutive games in the Premier League that had kicked-off at 3pm on a Saturday (scored 57, conceded seven). The reigning champions had now kept one clean sheet in their last eight games in the Premier League. The Citizens had now lost two of their last three games in the Premier League for the first time since January 2017 and as many as in their previous 61 games combined.

Comments:

League position: 14th This was Crystal Palace’s first win in their last seven away games in the Premier League (lost five). Since making his debut in February 2017, Luka Milivojević had now scored 13 penalties in the Premier League; five more than any other player in the same period. Roy Hodgson became the first English manager since Harry Redknapp for Tottenham Hotspur in May 2010 to win at Manchester City in the Premier League. This was the first time that Palace had scored three or more goals in an away game in the Premier League since a 3-0 win at Leicester City on 16 December 2017.
