11 things we loved this weekend: Van Dijk, Neymar, Fati, Neville and more
A number of sublime goals were scored all around the world this weekend as club football was back in the spotlight after the international break.
Goals from Italy, France, China, Brazil and Mexico all feature, while the usual nonsense is this time provided by Roy Hodgson and Gary Neville.
We’ve rounded up the best of the action on and off the pitch.
Duvan Zapata
Not a bad 95th-minute winner.

Bologna
After beating Brescia 4-3, Bologna’s squad went to visit manager Sinisa Mihajlovic, who is undergoing treatment for leukaemia. The players went to his window and sang for their boss.
Il #Bologna dopo la vittoria a Brescia è andato a trovare il suo allenatore, Sinisa #Mihajlovic, al Sant'Orsola.
La squadra ha fatto una sorpresa al tecnico serbo cantando il coro "dai Sinisa alè" e mettendo la sigla di "Scherzi a Parte" #ForzaSinisa pic.twitter.com/3XX1u1QO5C— Alessio De Giuseppe (@alessiodegiu) September 15, 2019

Domenico Berardi
Admittedly this was wasted at 4-0 down, but still…
Virgil van Dijk
Even when he gives you a head start you still can’t beat him.
That pace 🔥
