Comments:

League position: 14th Manchester United avoided losing their opening three games of a league season for the first time since 1986-87 in League Division One. The Red Devils had now won four of their last 15 games in the Premier League (lost eight). Marcus Rashford scored for the first time in his last 18 appearances for United in all competitions since 22 January 2022 against West Ham United in the Premier League.

Comments:

League position: 16th This was Liverpool's first defeat in the Premier League since their visit to Leicester City on 28 December 2021; longer than any other team currently in the division. The Reds had now conceded the opening goal in each of their last seven games in the Premier League. They had now failed to win in their first three games of a season in the Premier League for the first time since 2012-13 under manager Brendan Rodgers.
