4/8 - Including shootouts, David Raya has saved four of his last eight penalties faced for Arsenal in all competitions. Wall.
2 - Nicolas Jackson's brace after 18 minutes is the quickest by a Chelsea player in a Premier League match since Didier Drogba v Middlesbrough in January 2005 (17 minutes). Finisher.
11 - Cole Palmer has been directly involved in 11 goals in 11 away games in the Premier League in 2024 (three goals, eight assists); only Kevin De Bruyne (12) has been involved in more this year. Inevitable.
1 - Brentford are just the second team in Premier League history to score in the first minute of back-to-back games, along with Man City in February 2019 (Agüero v Newcastle & Arsenal). Prepared.
100 - With today's assist for Luis Díaz, Trent Alexander-Arnold has now been directly involved in 100 goals as a Liverpool player (19 goals, 81 assists). Visionary.
80 - Jhon Durán has now scored nine goals in 719 minutes in the Premier League; among players to have scored at least two goals in the competition, only Erling Haaland has a better mins/goal average (1 goal every 79 minutes). Unstoppable.
3.07 - Among games that have been played at least 15 times in the Premier League, only Manchester United against Wigan (3.13) have averaged more goals per game than Liverpool against Bournemouth (3.07 – 46 goals in 15 games). Demolition.
4 - Everton haven’t gone on to win any of their last four Premier League games when opening the scoring (D1 L3), while they’ve dropped more points from winning positions than any other side in the competition in 2024 (18). Wasted.
36 - Since the start of last season, Brentford have dropped more points from winning positions than any other side in the Premier League (36), while only Manchester City (30) have won more points from behind than Tottenham (28). Contrast.
2 - Manchester United have only won two of their last eight Premier League games against teams starting the day in the bottom half (D4 L2), with those victories both coming against promoted sides: 4-2 v Sheff United in April and 3-0 v Southampton this month. Inconsistency.
87% - Of Gabriel Magalhães' 15 Premier League goals, 87% have been from corners (13), the joint-highest ratio of any player with 10+ goals in Premier League history. Weapon.
20 - Riccardo Calafiori is the 20th player to score on his first Premier League start for Arsenal, but only the second of those to do so with a goal from outside the box, after Fábio Vieira against Brentford in September 2022. Introduction.
0 - Neither Jurriën Timber (6 passes) nor Kai Havertz (5 passes) completed any of their passes for Arsenal against Man City today, the first outfield players on record (from 2003-04) to play 89+ minutes of a Premier League match and not successfully pass to a teammate. Plan.
1 - Danny Welbeck has scored 70 Premier League goals, but Sunday was his first to come from a direct free-kick (4th direct free-kick shot). Unlikely.
39 - Real Madrid have become only the second team in La Liga history to go unbeaten in 39 consecutive games in the competition (W29 D10), after Barcelona in 2018 (G43 W34 D9). Invincible.
70% - Arsenal have won 21 of their 30 games in all competitions in 2024, a win percentage of 70%. That is their joint best in any calendar year, along with 1932 (won 35/50, 70%). Artistic.
5 - The two teams to concede the fewest fouls in the League Cup third round this year are Arsenal (5 vs. Bolton) and Manchester City (5 vs. Watford). Gentle.
7 - Radu Dragusin is the first player to be sent off on his debut in major European competition for Tottenham, while his seventh minute red card is Spurs' earliest from the start of a major European match. Marching.
