13 things we loved this weekend: Balotelli, Guardiola, Vardy, Depay…
One of the most dramatic title races in recent history came to a conclusion this weekend in Sweden, while there was some lovely sh*thousing in the Premier League.
Just to give you a heads up, the final video will ensure you start your week on a bright note.
We’ve rounded up the best of the action on and off the pitch.
Bo Andersson
After Djurgården came back from 2-0 down to earn the point they needed to secure the Swedish title, the club’s sporting director fainted in the emotion of lifting the trophy.

Marinho
Excellent goal, even better celebration.
Jamie Vardy
Presumably this is an Eagle. Or a Seagull. Either way, it was to p*ss the Palace fans off. King of the WUMs.
…it’s Jamie Vardy’s totally normal celebration. pic.twitter.com/o17zkEDCG2

Ben Foster
So close to the gold standard for footballing novelties, a goalkeeper scoring, but he was denied by a great save from his opposite number.
Marcelo Lomba
Got the ball, ref.
Pep Guardiola
He might be one of the greatest managers in the world, but he can be an underrated shithouse too.
Southampton assistant manager held the ball to waste time when city were losing 1-0

Mario Balotelli
Well in, Mario.
And again
Really well in, Mario.
Mario Balotelli responded to the racist chants by kicking the ball into the stands.

Memphis Depay
This was his second. Clutch player.

147 games. 100 goals.

Peter Crouch
Yep.
If I’d have been playing in the VAR era my long arms would have been offside for about 50 goals 😕

The police told him not to do it.
