Comments:

League position: 11th This was the first time that Wolverhampton Wanderers had opened the scoring in their last 15 games in the Premier League; only Manchester City in 1995 had a longer such run in the competition's history (16 games without opening the scoring). They had now won consecutive games in the Premier League for the first time since October 2020. Rui Patrício and Conor Coady both made their 100th appearance for Wolves in the Premier League; only Matt Jarvis had made more (108).

Comments:

League position: 12th Leeds United had now failed to score in two of their 13 away games so far in this Premier League season. The Whites remained as the only team that had yet to draw an away game so far in this Premier League season. Aged 20 years and 354 days, Illan Meslier became the youngest-ever goalkeeper to concede an own goal in the Premier League.
