Tottenham Hotspur continued their fine start in the 2021-22 Premier League, beating Watford 1-0 to go top of the pile.

Nuno Espirito Santo's men are now the only team with a 100% record in the English top flight this season, after Liverpool and Chelsea drew 1-1 at Anfield. It marks the first time Spurs have won their first three league games without conceding.

Tottenham had opened their 2021-22 campaign with a 1-0 upset against defending champions Manchester City before winning by the same scoreline at Wolverhampton Wanderers a week later.

The league leaders will travel to Crystal Palace when Premier League action resumes after the international break.


#2 Mason Greenwood becomes the fourth teenager to score 20 Premier League goals

After an underwhelming 2020-21 campaign following his blistering start the season before, Mason Greenwood is back among the goals in 2021-22.

Still only 19, Greenwood scored for the third straight game this season, finding the winner at Watford to help Manchester United climb to third in the Premier League table. The first teenager after Robbie Fowler to score in their first three Premier League games of a season, Greenwood is now the fourth teenager to record 20 strikes in the competition.

Earlier in the season, the versatile striker scored in United's 5-1 Matchday-1 win against Leeds United before scoring in the 1-1 draw at Southampton a week later.

With the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo, Greenwood is likely to get fewer starts as the season progresses, but the teenager is keen on making the most of his moments under the sun for now.


#1 Manchester United create a new record for longest unbeaten run away from home in English football history across tiers

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men are now unbeaten in 28 consecutive away league games.

With their hard-fought 1-0 win at Wolves on Gameweek 3, Manchester United are now unbeaten in 28 consecutive league games away from home. That is a record not only in the Premier League, but also across all four tiers of English football.

United are unbeaten away from home in the Premier League since a 2-0 defeat to Liverpool at Anfield in January 2020. The 13-time winners did not lose an away game all season in 2020-21, with all six of their league defeats coming at home.

In 2021-22, third-placed United have drawn one and won one of their two away games in the Premier League.
