Comments:

This was Tottenham Hotspur's first home game in the Premier League that kicked-off at 3pm on Saturday since a 5-0 win against Burnley on 7 December 2019. Spurs had now won their opening game in seven of the last ten seasons in the Premier League (lost two). This was the second time that they had scored four or more goals in their opening game of a season in the Premier League; previously in Jurgen Klinsmann's debut in a 4-3 win at Sheffield Wednesday in 1994.

Comments:

Southampton had now failed to win their opening game in the last nine seasons in the Premier League (lost five). The Saints had now lost five consecutive games in the Premier League for the first time since February 2021. They scored one goal in 19 of 38 games in the Premier League in 2021-22 (none in nine of the other 19).
