Comments:

League position: 5th Anthony Martial scored Manchester United’s first hat-trick in the Premier League since Robin van Persie against Aston Villa on 22 April 2013; longer than a league hat-trick being scored by any of the current teams in the division. United were now unbeaten in their last 13 games in all competitions (won nine); scored 33 goals and conceding three. The Red Devils had now won their last four home games in all competitions by an aggregate score of 13 goals to nil. This was the first time in English club football that five substitutions had been made in the same break in play.

Comments:

League position: 8th Sheffield United had now conceded three or more goals in consecutive league games for the first time since January 2016 in League One. They had now failed to score in three consecutive league games for the first time since September 2013 in League One. The Blades had now lost four of their last seven away games in the Premier League after remaining unbeaten in their opening nine away games of the season. At the age of 32 years and 312 days, Phil Jagielka became the oldest outfield player in this Premier League season.
