Comments:
League position: 1st West Ham United failed in their attempt to win their opening three games of a league season for the third time; previously in 1958-59 and 1983-84, both in League Division One. They failed in their attempt to become the first team to score four or more goals in each of their first three games of a season in the top division since Blackburn Rovers in 1958-59 in League Division One. Michail Antonio became the first player since Tony Cottee in March 1986 to score 50 goals in the top division for the Hammers.2 Crystal Palace
