Comments:

Stoke City had now won only one of their seven opening games in a Premier League season. A 2-0 victory over Burnley on 15 August 2009.

Comments:

Liverpool's 6-1 defeat in this fixture on the final day of 2014-15 saw them concede six goals in a league game for the first time since 15 April 1963 in a 7-2 defeat at Tottenham Hotspur in League Division One. In the 24th campaign, the Reds had now failed to score in only three of their first Premier League games of a season (1992, 2005 and 2012).
