Comments:

League position: 18th Sunderland had now taken only two points from their last six Premier League home games against newly-promoted teams (lost four). The Black Cats had not now won any of their last 16 Premier League games played in the month of August since 2010 (lost eight). At 17 years and 116 days, Joel Asoro became Sunderland's youngest-ever player in the Premier League. The previous record holder was Martyn Waghorn who was 17 years and 336 days when he made his debut against Manchester United on 26 December 2007.

Comments:

League position: 6th This was newly-promoted Middlesbrough's first away victory in the Premier League since they won at Aston Villa on 9 November 2008 with two goals from Tuncay Sanli. Boro were now unbeaten in their last 12 league games. They remained unbeaten after two games of a Premier League season for the first time since 2002-03.
