Comments:

League position: 17th . Wolverhampton Wanderers had now lost their first four league games of a year for the third time; previously in 1906 and 1982, both in League Division One. . Wolves had now lost four consecutive games for the third time in this Premier League season. . They avoided conceding three or more goals in four consecutive league games for the first time since September 1985 in League Division Three.

Comments:

League position: 2nd . Arsenal had now kept a clean sheet for the first time in their last ten away games in the Premier League. . João Gomes became the first opposition player to be sent-off against the Gunners in a game in the Premier League since Liverpool's Ibrahima Konate on 4 February 2024; longer than any other current team in the division. . Myles Lewis-Skelly was sent-off for serious foul play. However, the subsequent claim for wrongful dismissal was upheld and the three match suspension removed. Aged 18 years and 121 days, he had become the third-youngest player to be shown a red card in the Premier League, after Wayne Rooney versus Birmingham City in December 2002 (17 years and 63 days) and Michael Owen versus Manchester United in April 1998 (18 years and 117 days).
