The round in numbers

5 Premier League matches were completed on 4 October 2026, producing 18 goals at an average of 3.60 per game. 2 ended level and 1 featured a clean sheet, which puts the day well above the competition's usual scoring rate.

The widest margin of the day came at Newcastle, where Newcastle United and Manchester United were separated by 2 goals (2-0). Results of that size usually move goal difference more than they move the table itself, which matters once the season reaches the point where positions are decided by the second tiebreaker.
