[OptaJoe] In the form of Ethan Nwaneri and Myles Lewis-Skelly, this was the first time that two players aged 18 or younger had scored for the same team in a Premier League game since Everton v Fulham in April 2007 (James Vaughan & Victor Anichebe). Fearless.
[OptaJoe] Manchester City have conceded 4+ goals in a game for the fourth time this season, which is now the most in a single campaign in Pep Guardiola's managerial career. Uncharacteristic.
[OptaJoe] Since the beginning of last season only Wolves (16) have lost more Premier League home games than Manchester United (13). Pantomime
[OptaJoe] In Premier League history, four teams who were 14th at the turn of a year have then been relegated (Newcastle in 2008-09, Burnley in 2009-10, Norwich in 2013-14 and Leeds in 2022-23). Warning.

Bukayo Saka has 10 assists in Arsenal's 13 Premier League games this term; only Cesc Fàbregas in 2014-15 (12), Mesut Özil in 2015-16 (12), & Harry Kane in 2020-21 (11) have reached 10 assists in fewer of a team's games from the start of a season in the competition. Platter.
West Ham v Arsenal is only the fourth Premier League game to see seven goals in the first half alone, after Blackburn v Leeds in September 1997, Bradford v Derby in April 2000, and Reading v Man Utd in December 2012. Crazy.
[OptaJoe] Manchester City are the first reigning top-flight champions to lose five games in a row in all competitions since Chelsea in March 1956. Unbelievable.

[OptaJoe] Cole Palmer is the first substitute to score an equalising goal in a European Championship final since Sylvain Wiltord at EURO 2000 for France, who then went on to win 2-1. Cold.
[OptaJoe] England are the first side in UEFA European Championship history to reach the final despite trailing in both the quarter-final and semi-final en route. Resolve.
[OptaJoe] Ollie Watkins has scored only the second ever 90th-minute winning goal in a UEFA European Championship knockout tie, after Germany v Türkiye in the 2008 semi-final. Coming.
[OptaJose] Youngest players in history to score in EURO + World Cup: 1 - LAMINE YAMAL 🇪🇸 (16 years and 362 days). 2 - Pelé 🇧🇷 (17 years and 239 days) 3 - Manuel Rosas 🇲🇽 (18 years and 93 days) 4 - Gavi 🇪🇸 (18 years and 110 days)

[Jamie Carragher] Man City are on course to win 4 titles in a row on Sunday, a feat never achieved before in English football. They & Pep are the best team we’ve seen in the PL era. But with 115FFP charges hanging over them, will they ever get everyone’s full respect
