Comments:

League position: 19th Sunderland had now gone 23 games without a win in the Premier League during the months of August and September. The Black Cats had now drawn three and lost seven of the last ten Premier League games they had played in the month of September. They had now failed to win any of their first four Premier League games for the sixth season in a row.

Comments:

League position: 3rd Romelu Lukaku's hat-trick was Everton's first in the Premier League since Arouna Kone's threesome against Sunderland at Goodison Park on 1 November 2015. The Toffees' last hat-trick scorer in a Premier League away game was Nick Barmby in a 4-0 win at West Ham United on 26 February 2000. With four wins and a draw in all competitions, Ronald Koeman had now made the best-ever start by an Everton manager after five games. [c/o Steve Johnson, Everton Complete Record]
