Comments:

League position: 2nd This result became Manchester City’s biggest-ever win in the Premier League; previously 7-0 versus Norwich City on 2 November 2013. It was also their biggest-ever win in the top division and the third time that they had scored eight or more goals in a game in the top division; also 8-2 versus Blackburn Rovers in November 1919 and 8-3 versus Burnley in October 1925 in League Division One. City became the first team to score five goals in the opening 18 minutes of a game in the Premier League. Bernardo Silva became the third Portuguese player to score a hat-trick in the Premier League after Cristiano Ronaldo (Manchester United) and Diogo Jota (Wolverhampton Wanderers). Sergio Agüero had now scored 100 goals in the Premier League at Etihad Stadium. Only Thierry Henry (114 at Highbury) and Wayne Rooney (101 at Old Trafford) had scored more goals in the competition at one stadium. He also became the first player to score in each of the opening six games of a season in the Premier League. David Silva's opening goal was timed at 54 seconds.

Comments:

League position: 20th This became Watford’s biggest-ever defeat in a league game. It became the third time that they had conceded eight or more goals in a league game; also 8-1 versus Aberdare Athletic in January 1926 in Division Three (South) and 8-1 versus Crystal Palace in September 1959 in League Division Three. The Hornets' previous heaviest defeat in the Premier League was 6-0 at Manchester City on 16 September 2017. They had now lost all of their last 16 away games in the Premier League against the big six opposition by an aggregate total of nine goals scored and 53 conceded. This was Quique Sánchez Flores' first away game in his second spell as Watford's manager. This was Dimitri Foulquier's debut in the Premier League. He was substituted after 33 minutes.
