The Eagles conceded two goals in the opening 27 minutes of a game in the Premier League for the first time since a 3-2 loss against Chelsea on 7 July 2020. Luka Milivojević was shown a red card in a league game for the first time since playing for Olympiakos against AEK Athens in the Greek Super League on 13 February 2016.
