Tottenham have gone six league games without a home win (D2 L4) for the first time since October 2008 (D3 L5).

The average age of Tottenham's starting line-up was 23 years and 336 days, their youngest starting XI for a Premier League game since March 2015 (23 years and 290 days v QPR).

Since the start of the 2023-24 season, Dominic Solanke has scored more goals in the opening five minutes of Premier League games than any other player (4), while only Erling Haaland (14) has scored the opening goal in more games than Solanke in that time (11).
