Comments:

League position: 13th This was Wolverhampton Wanderers' first win in their last seven games in the Premier League since their 1-0 victory against Fulham on the last day of the previous season. Since returning to the Premier League in 2018, Wolves had now lost only one game when they had scored the first goal. They had now won four of their 13 games in the Premier League against a team starting the day on the bottom of the table (lost seven).

Comments:

League position: 20th Watford were now without a win in their last 11 games in the Premier League (lost eight) to equal their longest such run (also ending in December 1999 and January 2007). The Hornets became the fourth team to concede 20 or more goals in their opening seven games of a Premier League season; also Bolton Wanderers (21 in 2011-12), Derby County (20 in 2007-08) and Southampton (20 in 2012-13). Daryl Janmaat's own goal was the fifth that Watford had conceded in the Premier League since the start of the previous season.
