Comments:

League position: 10th Manchester City had now failed to score more than one goal in a game in five consecutive games in the Premier League for the first time since March 2009. City had now won 34 and drawn two of their 36 games in the Premier League when Gabriel Jesus scored. 12 points from their opening seven games became their lowest points total at this stage of a season in the Premier League since 2008-09 (nine points). Manchester City were awarded a penalty after 41 minutes following a VAR review for handball. The spot-kick was missed by Kevin De Bruyne.

Comments:

League position: 3rd Liverpool had now won three of their last ten away games in the Premier League (lost four). They had now kept a clean sheet in one of their last 13 games in the Premier League. Mohamed Salah became the third player to score eight goals after eight games of a season in the Premier League for the Reds after Robbie Fowler in 1995-96 and Fernando Torres in 2009-10.
