Comments:

League position: 18th Wolverhampton Wanderers had now lost six consecutive games in the Premier League for the first time since April 2012. New Wolves boss Bruno Lage became the first manager to lose his first three games in the Premier League without scoring since Frank De Boer of Crystal Palace in August 2017. They had now lost their opening two home games in a top division season for the first time since 1970-71.

Comments:

League position: 3rd Manchester United had now set an all-time record of 28 consecutive away games in the top division without defeat; previously 27 games by Arsenal in the Premier League from April 2003 to September 2004. Ole Gunnar Solskjær became the ninth manager to take charge of United in 100 games in the top division (won 53, lost 19). Mason Greenwood became the second teenager to score in each of his team’s opening three games of a season in the Premier League after Liverpool’s Robbie Fowler in 1994-95.
