Comments:

League position: 2nd . Tottenham Hotspur had now made their best opening five games start to a league season since 1965-66 in League Division One (also 13 points on a three points for a win basis). . Spurs had now also scored more than one goal in each of their opening five games of league season for the first time since 1965-66. . Richarlison became the third Brazilian to score 50 or more goals in the Premier League after Gabriel Jesus and Roberto Firmino.

Comments:

League position: 17th . Sheffield United's four defeats so far in this Premier League season had all been by a single goal margin. . Cameron Archer failed in his attempt to become the second player to score in his opening two games in the Premier League for the Blades after Brian Deane in August 1992. . They had now lost five of last seven league games (won one). . Sheffield United named eight of a possible nine substitutes.
