Comments:

League position: 2nd Tottenham Hotspur and leaders Manchester City remained as the only two unbeaten teams in this Premier League season. SON Heung-min became the first player to score a hat-trick for Spurs in the Premier League after coming on as a substitute. They scored six or more goals in a home game in the Premier League for the first time since a 6-4 win against Reading at White Hart Lane on 29 December 2007. Hugo Lloris saved Youri Tielemans' initial penalty attempt but was retaken as the goalkeeper had encroached from his goalline.

Comments:

League position: 20th Leicester City had now lost six consecutive games in the Premier League for the first time since December 2014. The Foxes had now failed to win in their opening seven games of a season in the top division for the first time since 1983-84 in League Division One. They had now conceded 22 goals in their opening seven games of this Premier League season; the most at this stage of a season in the top division since West Ham United in 1965-66 in League Division One (22).
