Comments:

League position: 1st Manchester City had now equalled the top division record of 13 consecutive wins in the same season (also Chelsea in 2016-17, Arsenal in 2001-02, Sunderland in 1891-92 and Preston North End in 1891-92). As they lost their following game at Shakhtar Donetsk in the UEFA Champions League, with this victory, City set a new record for a team in the top division with a run of 20 consecutive wins in all competitions; previously 14 by Preston North End in January 1892 and Arsenal in November 1987. They now held the biggest-ever lead after 15 games of a Premier League season (eight points).

Comments:

League position: 19th West Ham United had now won ten points from their first 15 games of this Premier League season; their fewest-ever points total at this stage in the competition's history. Angelo Ogbonna became the fourth Italian to score a Premier League goal for the Hammers; only Chelsea (five) had more in the competition. They had now not won any of their nine away league games so far in this season and had only won one of their last 16 away games in the Premier League (lost nine).
