Comments:

League position: 20th Sheffield United had now equaled the worst-ever 13-game start to a season in the top four divisions; also one point by Newport County in League Division Four in 1970-71. The Blades scored more than one goal in a game for the first time in their last 16 games in the Premier League. David McGoldrick had now scored his six goals in the Premier League against Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United.

Comments:

League position: 6th Manchester United had now taken 1,002 points from their 544 away games in the Premier League (won 289, lost 120) to become the first team to reach the 1,000 point mark in the competition's history. The Red Devils had now become the first team to score two or more goals in each of ten consecutive away games in the top division since Tottenham Hotspur in League Division One in October 1960. United had now won all of their first six away games in this Premier League season having conceded the opening goal in each game.
