Comments:

League position: 3rd Watford had now won their opening four games of a league season for the second time in their history; also 1988-89 in League Division Two. They selected an unchanged starting line-up for a fourth consecutive game in their Premier League for the first time. Troy Deeney started his 250th league game for Watford. He also became the fourth player to score in 100 games in all competitions for the Hornets after Tommy Barnett, Ross Jenkins and Luther Blissett.

Comments:

League position: 5th This was the first time that Tottenham Hotspur had lost a game in the Premier League after taking the lead since November 2016 to end a run of 48 such games. Spurs had now lost two of their last 20 games in the Premier League played on a Sunday. Prior to this game, they had won their first three games of a top division season for the fifth time in their history.
