Comments:

League position: 11th Newcastle United failed in their attempt to start a league season by winning their first two games for the first time since 1997-98 in the Premier League. The Magpies had now lost their opening home game in each of the last five league seasons. They had now won one of their last eight home games in the Premier League (lost three). Having already made their three substitutions, Newcastle United played with ten men during added time at the end of the game when Jamal Lewis was withdrawn due to injury.

Comments:

League position: 8th Brighton and Hove Albion were now unbeaten in a club record eight away games in the top division (won three); the current longest such run in the Premier League. Neal Maupay scored two goals from the start of a game in the Premier League quicker than any other player since Edin Džeko scored twice in the first four minutes for Manchester City at Norwich City on 29 December 2012. Albion had now won their opening away game of a Premier League season by a 3-0 margin for a second season in a row. Brighton and Hove Albion's second goal was initially disallowed for offside but the decision was subsequently overturned following a VAR review. Yves Bissouma was initially shown a yellow card after 87 minutes but was upgraded to a red card following a VAR review.
