Apparently, Kev is the first player to be involved in 3 goals in a Manchester PL Derby game since Ashley Young (Ashley fucking Young, can you believe it?) in 2015. I was hoping he was going to get the hat trick.

Just read somewhere else that yesterday was the first equaliser we've conceded in the PL this season. Had a quick scan of our games, and it does appear to be correct. 28 games into the season.

Just watching the MOTD highlights on iPlayer. Apparently, we've scored the most goals in the opening 5 minutes of games in the PL this season (7, 3 more than anyone else). I find that surprising; it doesn't seem that we score that many early goals.

I was of the other opinion, thought we scored more than 7, seems low. Feels like we very often score early in games and I am disappointed when we don’t.Just watching the MOTD highlights on iPlayer.

Heard something weird on the commentary I was listening to. Apparently, we have the record for the most consecutive wins against any opponent in the top flight. Thought he said 50, but it was most likely 15 against Watford. Is that right? Or did I dream it? I tend not to listen to the commentary much, but 15 minutes later my brain said "hang on ...." and then it was too late.
Yup, 15 straight wins in the prem against an opponent is a new record.Heard something weird on the commentary I was listening to.

Im pretty sure they said 15 consecutive wins versus the same opponent is an all time English league record.
It's 15 consecutive wins in all comps - includes cupsYup, 15 straight wins in the prem against an opponent is a new record.
