Man United beat Brighton while Man City brushed aside Huddersfield with ease. Here are the standout stats from the latest round.

Koscielny makes history in that Emirates Stadium win
Albeit through a fortunate goal, Koscielny found the back of the net to double Arsenal's lead in the first half of that clash with Sarri's men. That strike made him the first Arsenal defender to reach the 20-goal mark in the English top-flight.
