Comments:

League position: 5th Manchester United had now won four consecutive games in the Premier League for the first time since April 2021. The Red Devils avoided losing four consecutive league games played on a Sunday for the first time since November 1990 in League Division One. Antony became the 21st player to score on his Premier League debut for United, and the first since Donny van de Beek in a 3-1 win against Crystal Palace at Old Trafford on 19 September 2020.

Comments:

League position: 1st Arsenal failed in their attempt to win their first six games of a league season for the first time since 1947-48 in League Division One. The Gunners failed in their attempt to keep clean sheets in their first three away league games of a season for a second time; previously in 1995-96 in the Premier League. They became the last team to concede a goal in the first-half of a game in this Premier League season. Gabriel Martinelli scored in the 12th minute but the goal was disallowed after a VAR review due to a foul.
