At 39 years and 39 days old against Brighton, Everton’s Ashley Young became the oldest player to be sent off in a Premier League match. Against Wolves, Noni Madueke scored his first senior hat-trick with all three goals assisted by Cole Palmer – it was the fifth time a player has assisted a teammate three or more times in the same Premier League game, after Mike Newell for Alan Shearer (1995), Stan Collymore for Robbie Fowler (1995), Freddie Ljungberg for Thierry Henry (2003) and Harry Kane for Son Heung-min (2020). Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca became the first manager in Premier League history to see his team score six goals in his first away game in the competition. Everton were leading Bournemouth by two goals until the 87th minute before losing 3-2; it’s the latest a team has ever been 2+ goals ahead in a game they’ve gone on to lose in Premier League history.

Against Arsenal, Erling Haaland scored his 100th goal for Manchester City in all competitions, needing just 105 appearances to hit the landmark. He also became the first player in Premier League history to reach 10 goals in as few as five games from the start of a season. Man City’s win over Brentford was a 51st unbeaten Premier League game for Rodri, who became just the second player to go more than 50 games unbeaten after Sol Campbell (56 between 2002 and 2004). Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka became the second player in Premier League history to provide an assist in each of a team’s first five games of a season, after Thierry Henry in 2004-05, who also did so for the Gunners. Bryan Mbeumo’s strike after 38 seconds against West Ham saw Brentford become the first team in Premier League history to score in the opening minute in three consecutive games. Against Brighton, Cole Palmer became the first player ever to score four goals before half-time in a single Premier League match.

Against Southampton, Kai Havertz became the first Arsenal player to score in seven consecutive home appearances in all competitions since Robin van Persie between December 2011 – March 2012 (also a run of 7). Brentford 5-3 Wolves was the first ever Premier League match to produce eight different goalscorers, all of a different nationality. Manchester City became just the fourth different English top-flight team to go at least 50 home games unbeaten in all competitions (52) after Liverpool (85 between 1978-1981), Chelsea (74, 2006-2008 and 58, 2004-2006) and Sunderland (50, 1890-1893). Brighton’s 3-2 win over Tottenham was the 10th time Spurs had lost a Premier League game in which they led by 2+ goals, making them the first club to hit double figures for this statistic. Southampton’s 3-2 defeat to Leicester stretched their run without a Premier League win to 21 games, their outright longest winless streak in top-flight history. Mikey Moore (17 years, 77 days) became the youngest player to start a Premier League match for Tottenham since Stephen Carr against Ipswich Town in September 1993 (17 years, 28 days). Man City’s win against Wolves stretched their unbeaten Premier League run to 31 games, their longest streak without defeat in their league history (ending at 32).Go Deeper:

Manchester United picked up just 12 points in their first 10 Premier League games, their lowest at that stage of a domestic season since 1986-87 (8). Arsenal’s victory against Nottingham Forest was their 2,000th in English top-flight history, just the second side to reach this milestone after Liverpool. At 17 years and 247 days, Ethan Nwaneri became Arsenal’s second-youngest Premier League goalscorer ever, behind only Cesc Fàbregas (17y 113d, vs Blackburn in August 2004).Where does Nwaneri rank?
Premier LeagueThe Youngest Premier League Scorers
3 weeks ago Matt Furniss Manchester City became the first reigning English top-flight champions to lose five games in a row in all competitions since Chelsea in March 1956. City’s 4-0 defeat to Spurs was their biggest home loss since February 2003 (5-1 vs Arsenal) and Pep Guardiola’s joint-biggest home loss in his managerial career (4-0 v Real Madrid in April 2014). Arne Slot won 10 of his first 12 Premier League games in charge of Liverpool (D1 L1), the joint-fastest any manager has reached double figures for wins from the start of their career in the competition (Guus Hiddink and Carlo Ancelotti also 12th game). Against Leicester, Kevin Schade became only the fourth German to score a hat-trick in the Premier League, after Jürgen Klinsmann (1998), Fredi Bobic (2002) and André Schürrle (2014). Marcus Rashford scored 81 seconds into Ruben Amorim’s first game in charge of Manchester United, with Amorim the second permanent manager to see his side score in the opening two minutes of his first game. David Moyes at Everton in March 2002 was the first. At Wolves, Justin Kluivert became the first player in Premier League history to score a hat-trick of penalties, with teammate Evanilson also the first to win three spot-kicks in the same match. Arsenal leading West Ham 5-2 at half-time was just the fourth match in Premier League history to see as many as seven goals scored in the first half, after Blackburn v Leeds (September 1997), Bradford v Derby (April 2000) and Reading v Man Utd (December 2012).December
Thanks to a 2-0 loss at Liverpool, Manchester City lost four consecutive Premier League matches for the first time since August 2008. It was the first time in Pep Guardiola’s managerial career that he lost four consecutive league matches. Ruud van Nistelrooy became the first manager ever to win consecutive Premier League games that were for and against the same side (3-0 vs Leicester with Man Utd, 3-1 with Leicester vs West Ham). Ashley Young – at 39 years and 148 days old – became the oldest player to reach the 50-goal landmark in Premier League history and the oldest player to score a direct free-kick in the competition. Tom Cairney scored away from home in the Premier League for the first time since March 2010, with this being the longest ever gap between a player scoring in away matches in the competition (14 years and 269 days). At Newcastle, Mohamed Salah both scored and assisted in the same Premier League game for the 37th time, overtaking Wayne Rooney (36) as the player to have done so most often. Chris Wood became Nottingham Forest’s all-time leading Premier League goalscorer. That also made him one of only two players to be top scorer for two different sides in the competition (Burnley also), along with Alan Shearer (Blackburn Rovers and Newcastle United). Nottingham Forest’s 3-2 win at Man Utd was Ruben Amorim’s first home league defeat since February 2023, ending a run of 23 consecutive top-flight home wins with Sporting CP and Man Utd. At Spurs, Cole Palmer reached 50 goal involvements (33 goals, 17 assists) in 48 Premier League games for Chelsea; only Erling Haaland for Man City (39), Andy Cole for Newcastle (43) and Mohamed Salah for Liverpool (46) have ever reached that total in fewer appearances for a club in the competition.

Arsenal scored 5+ goals in six different away games in all competitions in 2024, the most ever by an English top-flight club in a single calendar year. This became the sixth Premier League season in which Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah has both scored and assisted 10+ goals (2017-18, 2019-20, 2021-22, 2022-23, 2023-24 and 2024-25); the most of any player in the competition’s history (overtaking Wayne Rooney’s five). Fulham won a Premier League away game at Stamford Bridge for the first time in 18 attempts (D6 L11), their first away victory against the Blues in any competition since October 1979 in the second tier. Newcastle won three consecutive Premier League games by 3+ goals for the very first time.

Mohamed Salah was involved in 14 Premier League goals in December (7 goals, 7 assists), the joint most by a player in one month in Premier League history along with Luis Suárez in December 2013 (10 goals, 4 assists). By Christmas, Salah had 15 goals and 11 assists in the Premier League, becoming the first player in Premier League history to hit double figures for both before 25 December in a season. Liverpool were top of the Premier League on Christmas Day, the 21st time they’ve topped the table on 25 December in the top flight, more than any other side. Manchester United were 13th on Christmas Day, their lowest position on 25 December since 1986 when they were 15th. Man Utd lost six games in all competitions in December, only the third month in which they’ve lost six games, after April 1926 (6) and September 1930 (7). They also conceded 18 goals in December, their most in a single month since March 1964 (also 18).January
Nottingham Forest won six successive top-flight matches for the first time since May-September 1979 (7 in a row), doing so within a single season for the first time since 1966-67 (two runs of six wins).
