Comments:

League position: 6th Sheffield United failed in their attempt to win three consecutive home games in the Premier League for the first time since August 1993. The Blades failed in their attempt to become the first newly-promoted team to reach 20 points after their opening 13 games in the Premier League since Hull City in 2008-09. They had won all four previous games so far in this Premier League season when they had scored the opening goal. Phil Jagielka made his first start in the Premier League for the Blades since 13 May 2007 against Wigan Athletic (4,578 days earlier). The only player to have a longer gap between starts for the same club was Wayne Rooney for Everton from 15 May 2004 to 12 August 2017 (4,837 days).

Comments:

League position: 9th Manchester United had now won one of their last 11 away games in the Premier League (lost six). The Red Devils had now created a new club record of failing to keep a clean sheet in their last 12 away games in the Premier League (previously 11 games from August 2002 to January 2003). At 18 years and 54 days old, Mason Greenwood became the third youngest player to score for United in the Premier League after Danny Welbeck (17 years and 355 days) and Federico Macheda (17 years and 226 days). All of United's goals so far in this Premier League season (19) had now been scored by players aged 23 and under. This was the first time that three players aged 22 or younger had scored for United in a game in the Premier League since 28 April 1996 in a 5-0 win against Nottingham Forest (Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes and David Beckham). Marcus Rashford had now scored six goals in his last six games in all competitions for the Red Devils and had now scored in three consecutive games for them for the first time since September 2017.
