Wenger sets impressive record
Many fans may feel he overstayed his welcome, but Arsene will go down as one of the greatest Premier League managers. The 2-0 win over Brighton and Hove Albion – albeit unimpressive – saw the Frenchman surpass Sir Alex Ferguson to set an amazing record.
Most #PremierLeague teams defeated by a manager:

Romelu Lukaku continues his excellent start
Lukaku must enjoy proving the critics wrong, as he continues his amazing start at Old Trafford. The Belgian ace scored his seventh goal for the club after seven Premier League games. No Man United player has scored more goals in their first seven games for the club – he’s tied with Andrew Cole.
Need a long-range goal? Call Coutinho, maybe…
17 - Coutinho has now scored 17 goals from outside the box since his PL debut, at least three more than any other player. Update. https://t.co/eoVhnvi4te

Crystal Palace’s woes continue
7 - Crystal Palace are only the second team to lose their opening seven games in a @PremierLeague season, after Portsmouth in 2009-10. Woe.

Goodison Park is no longer an impenetrable fortress
Everton’s 1-0 home loss to Burnley was their second Goodison Park defeat of this season. That matched their number of home defeats from the entire 2016/17 season. Koeman must fix their home form.
