League position: 13th This was the first time that Manchester City had conceded five or more goals in a home game in the Premier League since a 5-1 defeat to Arsenal at Maine Road on 22 February 2003. This was the first time that City had lost their opening home game of a league season since 1999-2000 at Maine Road against Wolverhampton Wanderers in League Division 1. At 17 years and 231 days, Liam Delap became the fourth youngest player to make his Premier League debut for City. Rory and Liam Delap became the 16th father and son pairing to both play in the Premier League. In his 200th appearance in the Premier League, former Leicester City player Riyad Mahrez scored his 58th goal in the competition.
