Comments:

League position: 1st This result ended Manchester City's all-time record run of 21 consecutive wins in all competitions by a team in the top division. This was City's first defeat in their last 29 games in all competitions since 21 November 2020 (against Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League) to equal their club record; previously from April to December in 2018. As this was the first time that they had trailed at any point during their last 20 games in the Premier League, City equalled the competition record (19 games without being behind) set by Arsenal from December 1998 to May 1999.

Comments:

League position: 2nd Manchester United were now unbeaten in their last 22 away games in the Premier League (won 14); a run only bettered in the history of the top division by Arsenal (23 games from August 2001 to September 2002 and 27 games from April 2003 to September 2004, both Premier League). Bruno Fernandes' opener was the first goal that Manchester City had conceded within the opening two minutes of a home game in the Premier League since Steed Malbranque scored for Fulham on 29 January 2003 at Maine Road. Luke Shaw scored his second goal in the Premier League in his 180th appearance in the division; previously for United against Leicester City on 10 August 2018.
