Comments:

Newly-promoted Norwich City had now lost their last 11 games in Premier League; the joint second-worst such sequence in the division after Sunderland's run of 20 consecutive defeats between 2003 and 2005. They became the first-ever team to lose six consecutive home games in the top division with scoring; previously five games by Sheffield Wednesday in 1920 and Birmingham in 1922 (both in League Division One). The Canaries remained without a home win on the opening weekend of a league season since 2002 against Grimsby Town in League Division 1 (second tier).

Comments:

Roberto Firmino scored Liverpool's 8,000th goal in the Football League and Premier League; only Manchester United had scored more (8,089). James Milner had now played in 20 seasons in the Premier League; only Ryan Giggs (22) and Gareth Barry (21) had now played in more. Mohamed Salah became the first player to score in the opening game in five consecutive seasons in the Premier League.
