Comments:

League position: 2nd Manchester City had now equalled their club record of scoring more than one goal in 14 consecutive games in the Premier League. City had now won all of their last 21 games in the Premier League played on a Wednesday since December 2018. Erling Haaland had now scored two hat-tricks in his first five appearances in the Premier League. The previous fewest games to achieve this feat was 21 games by Demba Ba (12 at West Ham United and nine at Newcastle United).

Comments:

League position: 15th Nottingham Forest conceded six or more goals in a league game for the first time since a 6-0 loss at Ipswich Town in the League Championship in March 2005; longer than another current Premier League team. Forest had now lost their last seven games in the Premier League against the reigning champions by an aggregate score of 29 goals to three. Renan Lodi became the 55th player to appear for Forest in all competitions since the start of the previous season.
