Mo Johnston added a third in the final minute to consign United to their second consecutive defeat of the season. Until this season, it was the only time United had lost their opening two games of a Premier League campaign.
Only one of the 22 clubs in the league replaced their manager in the first season of the Premier League, Chelsea sacking Ian Porterfield in February 1993 and bringing in David Webb. By contrast, Watford have burned through seven managers over the last two seasons. At the other end of the table, Norwich City enjoyed their highest position in top-flight football by finishing third, even though they had a goal difference of minus four. No team has finished as high in the table with a negative goal difference since and Norwich have never matched that third-place finish.
