Comments:

League position: 18th Southampton had now lost both of their first two games of a Premier League season for the first time since 2012-13. Since the start of the previous season, Danny Ings had now scored eight goals in the Premier League goals for the Saints; more than any other player. They had now both scored and conceded in 14 of their last 15 home games in the Premier League.

Comments:

League position: 1st Liverpool equalled their club record of 11 consecutive wins in the Premier League. They also equalled their club record of scoring more than one goal in 11 consecutive games in the top division. Sadio Mané became one of two Premier League players to have scored 20 or more goals in all competitions in 2019 (also Manchester City's Sergio Agüero). The Reds had now won their first two games in consecutive seasons in the Premier League for the second time (also in 1993-94 and 1994-95).
