Comments:

League position: 19th Norwich City had now scored nine of their 15 goals so far in this Premier League season in five games against the big six opponents. The Canaries failed in their attempt to win consecutive games in the Premier League for the first time since April 2016. With his first goal in his last nine games in the Premier League, Teemu Pukki had now scored 50 goals in 76 appearances for club and country since the start of the previous season. 30 goals had now been scored at Carrow Road so far in this Premier League season (for 12, against 18); more than at any other stadium in the division.

Comments:

League position: 8th Following the sacking of Unai Emery two days earlier, this was Freddie Ljungberg's first game in caretaker charge. Three of their last four managers had now failed to win their first league game. Arsenal had now completed a run of six consecutive games without a win in the Premier League in the same season for the first time since December 1994. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang had now scored six of the Gunners' seven goals in their seven away games so far in this Premier League season.
