Comments:

League position: 12th Stoke City had now kept a clean sheet in four of their last five Premier League games. The Potters had won just one of their previous five Premier League home games (lost three). This was Marko Arnautovic's first Premier League goal at the Britannia Stadium since 3 May 2014 in a 4-1 win against Fulham. A total of 22 goals had been scored in City's Premier League games so far in this season (ten for and 12 against); the fewest in the division.

Comments:

League position: 16th With this defeat, Chelsea became the first-ever reigning champions in England's top division to lose seven of their opening 12 games. Blues boss Jose Mourinho - who was absent from this game as he served a one-match stadium ban - had now lost three consecutive league matches for the first time in his managerial career. It was also the first time he had lost seven league matches in a season in his career as a manager. This was the first time that Chelsea had lost three consecutive Premier League games since October 1999 (versus Liverpool, Arsenal and Derby County). Baba Rahman was booked in the second minute of added time in the first half.
