Comments:

League position: 5th Sheffield United had now lost one of their last ten games in the Premier League (won four). The Blades became the first newly-promoted team to lose fewer than five of their opening 17 games of a Premier League season since Hull City in 2008. Having now scored four goals in 15 appearances so far in this Premier League season, John Fleck scored his first brace in the 403rd game of his club career.

Comments:

League position: 17th Aston Villa had now lost six of their last eight games in the Premier League (won one). With Jack Grealish missing a penalty in the 78th minute, of the 16 teams to be awarded a spot-kick so far in this Premier League season, Villa remained as the only team yet to convert one. They had now conceded 22 goals in the second-half of their games so far in this Premier League season; more than any other team.
