11 things we loved this weekend: Wijnaldum, Sancho, Evra & more
All eyes in the Premier League were on Liverpool‘s victory over Manchester United at Anfield and a rather tense Sky Sports studio.
Elsewhere, Matt Ritchie left a Newcastle United supporter ruing their last-minute winner and Erling Braut Haaland marked his Borussia Dortmund debut with a bang.
We’ve rounded up the best of the action on and off the pitch.

Patrice Evra
It takes a brave/patient man to sit between Keane and Graeme Souness, but Evra equipped himself well.

The way he regains his composure to start talking again is excellent.
