13 things we loved this weekend: Lacazette, Aguero, Hazard & more
Arsenal, Manchester City, Chelsea and Leeds United men all caught our eye in action this weekend.
Liverpool’s trip to Arsenal was the headline fixture in the Premier League, but there were plenty of notable storylines around the world.
We’ve rounded up the best of the action on and off the pitch.
Arsenal
A classy touch.

Alexandre Lacazette
The striker is unstoppable right now.

Sergio Canales
A fitting way to end a six-goal thriller between Real Betis and Celta Vigo. The stunned reaction of the goalkeeper sums it all up.
Alessio Romagnoli
A second stoppage-time winner in the space of the week for the defender as AC Milan won 1-0 at Udinese with an incredibly FIFA goal.
Emanuele Giaccherini
Words can’t describe how much we love this own goal. And the striker’s smirk at the end.
Sergio Aguero
He’s been quite good, has Sergio.
150 – Sergio Aguero has scored his 150th Premier League goal in his 217th appearance – only Alan Shearer (212 games) has scored 150 in fewer games in Premier League history. Outstanding. pic.twitter.com/TqiC489TSv

Manchester City
A 6-1 win and even more super slick football. And then there’s this penalty box scramble.
The Hazards
A good weekend for the Hazard family.
Family goals.
Pretty unique. Three brothers involved in a goal in the same weekend in a top 10 league:
🇧🇪 Kylian Hazard (Cercle Brugge)⚽️
🇩🇪 Thorgan Hazard (BMG)⚽️⚽️
🏴 Eden Hazard (Chelsea) 🅰️Eden and Thorgan are both joint top scorer in their league.#cfc @hlnsport pic.twitter.com/g5JIzZaFIf

Ciro Immobile
A volley will never not be pleasing.
Toni Kroos
Real Madrid secured their first win in five La Liga outings, and the midfielder showed some nice self-effacing humour on Twitter.

Leeds United
We felt sorry for Josh Windass at this point.
Just saw this from Leeds players. Any team/individual from any club take a look. This is what you call desire if you are unsure what the meaning is. Brilliant 👌👌 pic.twitter.com/X2XiuL68AT

Rafael van der Vaart
The Holland legend announced his retirement this weekend and we got a little bit sad. We still absolutely love him.

Yeovil Town
Despite Yeovil losing 2-1 at Morecambe, one visiting supporter left with a classy touch.
Big thanks to the @YTFC supporter who went round after the game and picked up all the litter from the away section. 👏👏👏
