theScore picks out the best statistics to surface following another Saturday of late drama and individual brilliance in the Premier League.

0: Manchester United's Anthony Martial is yet to register a shot on target or create a chance for a teammate this season. He's the only striker with over 90 minutes under his belt to draw blanks in each category.

1: Number of goals conceded by Chelsea in the six games that center-backs Thiago Silva and Kurt Zouma have started together across all competitions. Silva, 36, also scored his first goal in English football in the Blues' 4-1 victory over Sheffield United.

3: Consecutive defeats for Everton following the 3-1 loss to Manchester United. The last time manager Carlo Ancelotti took nothing from three straight league games was in November 2006 with AC Milan.

5: Crystal Palace's Eberechi Eze scored and assisted in the same league match for the fifth time in his career during Saturday's visit from Leeds United. The 22-year-old's last occasion was in Queens Park Rangers' 3-1 win over Preston North End in March 2020.

10: Everton started a league match against Manchester United at least 10 league places above their opponents for the first time since February 1987. It didn't last.

16: Fulham's winless streak in top-flight London derbies following the 1-0 setback at West Ham United (one draw, 15 losses).

22: Goal involvements for Bruno Fernandes in 21 Premier League appearances (13 goals, nine assists). He scored twice and assisted once in the win at Everton.

46: Streak of non-penalty shots struck by the right or left foot of Aleksandar Mitrovic that haven't resulted in a Premier League goal. The Fulham striker's barren run dates back to a match against Huddersfield Town in December 2018.

97:46: Time on the clock when Ademola Lookman's Panenka penalty tamely bounced into the left palm of West Ham United goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski. The spot-kick barely reached the goal.

1946: You need to go back over 74 years to see the last time Leeds conceded 17 goals in the opening eight matches of a top-tier season. Marcelo Bielsa has some work to do after the 4-1 slump at Crystal Palace.
