Round four of the Premier League has come to a wrap, signaling the beginning of the latest international break. This means play will halt in the English top-tier, but the weekend action left us with enough talking points.
The likes of Liverpool and Chelsea maintained their perfect start with wins on Saturday, while Arsenal and Man United recorded encouraging victories. The same can't be said for Tottenham, having lost 2-1 at Watford.
Man City kept up pace with the league leaders in defense of their title, beating Newcastle 2-1. Here are the standout stats from Matchweek 4 in the Premier League.
Watford did what Man United couldn't last week and beat Tottenham at home. The 2-1 win over Spurs saw them maintain their impressive perfect start to the campaign.
They have now won their first four games of the season for only the second time in history, the first since 1988-89 in the second-tier.

16 - Since his Fulham debut in February, Aleksandar Mitrovic has scored more goals in English league football than any other player. Sweet. #BHAFUL

Quite remarkable that Romelu Lukaku has scored as many Premier League goals (104) as Didier Drogba managed throughout his career. Lukaku's 25-years-old.
