Comments:

League position: 11th Wolverhampton Wanderers avoided becoming the fifth team that had failed to score in their opening four home games of a season in the top division. Wolves had lost their preceding four home games in the Premier League; their longest such in the division since April 2012 (nine games). They had now conceded 200 goals in their home games in the Premier League (played 137, scored 163).

Comments:

League position: 19th Newcastle United had now failed to win in their opening seven games for the fourth time in their last seven seasons in the Premier League. Jeff Hendrick became the first player to score in the first-half of a Premier League game as substitute for the Magpies since Nolberto Solano against Wimbledon in November 1998. Along with Southampton, Burnley and Norwich City, United had yet to win in this Premier League season; the second season in the top division where four teams had failed to win any of their opening seven games (also 1964-65 in League Division One).
