Blink and you missed it – we are already 10% of the way during the 2019-20 Premier League season.
The latest round of matches gave us masterclass performances in attack by Sergio Aguero and Jamie Vardy, although on-field anxieties were subjected at leaders Liverpool.
BBC Sport takes a look at the key stats of the weekend.
Liverpool are top of the table using a 100% record also claimed that a first clean sheet of the year to boot Burnley – but the talking point was supplied by the substitution of Sadio Mane in the Reds’ win at Turf Moor.
The Senegal international gestured to the seat as he was withdrawn irritated by the decision of team-mate Mohamed Salah before – by the side finally snuffed out with all the Egyptian’s sight of goal.
But was Mane’s response of a complaint that is broader?
By Salah along with Roberto Firmino, Liverpool have created a total of 178 opportunities for another – 59 per since the beginning of this 2017-18 year, together with Mane producing the 60.
At first glance, this seems to demonstrate a fairly even split among the trio – but almost a quarter of the total were Mane supplying an opening to Salah (43).
For Mane , back-to-back Premier League Golden Boot winner Salah has created only 25 opportunities by comparison, compared to 34 for Firmino.
Statistics also suggest the Brazilian forwards slightly favours picking out Salah (33 opportunities ) over Mane (26).
Over at Etihad Stadium, it had been the Sergio Aguero series as Manchester City’s all time leading goalscorer struck at 170th Premier League goals and his 169th in the winners’ 4-0 win.
The Argentine was attracted by it to in a single among a century of house league goals in his home floor.
Just Thierry Henry at Highbury (114) and Wayne Rooney in Old Trafford (101) have scored greater at a single venue in Premier League history.
Kevin de Bruyne set up Aguero’s initial after starting the scoring for the hosts later referee Jonathan Moss had blown for kick-off.
It’ll come as small surprise that the Belgian’s finish was the quickest of the Premier League season – but it added to the winners’ remarkable tally of objectives that are fast.
Since the beginning of last year, City have struck 13 times from the opening 10 minutes of games, six before Liverpool, Everton and Tottenham (seven) in joint second on the list.
Two were scored by jamie Vardy and made the following as Brendan Rodgers’ Leicester City climbed to third in the Premier League table with a 3-1 home win over Bournemouth.
The scoring was opened by the former England international memories of the club 2015-16 title season as he – taking a bit before lobbing over Aaron Ramsdale and rushing on to a forward ball.
After scoring in the Foxes’ 2-1 win in Sheffield United last weekend, now it signifies Vardy has now been directly involved with 14 goals in 14 Premier League matches under Rodgers (12 goals, two assists).
And Vardy form under the Liverpool and Celtic boss elevates him into an exclusive list of Premier League players assist below a manager or to have notched a minumum of one goal.
But it’s not Rodgers’ only look, with his management Luis Suarez at Anfield yielding a stunning return of 1.08 targets or assists per game in 66 league games.
Frank Lampard named the Chelsea beginning 11 at the Premier League era in Saturday’s 2-2 draw with Sheffield United.
The Blues side, which finally found a two-goal lead slide had a mean age of 24 decades and 158 days.
However, in the west London club’s wait for a first home league win goes , Tammy Abraham’s goalscoring kind lasted.
Even without the 21-year-old’s two goals from the Blades, he has scored over any other English player at the top two tiers since the beginning of last season (including play-offs).
A tally of all 30 goals in that time – including 26 at Aston Villa’s 2018-19 advertising – puts him well before mature England internationals Raheem Sterling (22) and Harry Kane (19).
National boss Gareth Southgate missed Abraham in his squad for this month Euro 2020 qualifying suits against Kosovo and Bulgaria – but definitely will be not able to resist him because of his squad in October when he maintains his kind.
