Comments:

League position: 1st Tottenham Hotspur had now won their opening three games of a league season for the sixth time but for the first time without also conceding a goal. Nuno Espírito Santo became the second manager to win his first three league games in charge of Spurs after Arthur Rowe in League Division Two in August 1949. SON Heung-min became the 16th player to make 200 appearances for Spurs in the Premier League (scored 72 goals).

Comments:

League position: 12th Watford had now lost eight consecutive away games in the Premier League and failed to score in six of them. The Hornets had now lost their opening two away games in a season in the Premier League for a second time (also 2006-07). They had now won two of their last 23 away league games played in London (lost 17).
