13 things we loved this weekend: Saka, Fernandes, Ndombele, Grealish & more

Planet Football • 28 Dec 2020

Arsenal secured a huge victory over Chelsea in the Premier League this weekend, while Bruno Fernandes maintained his own ridiculous standards for Manchester United.

Elsewhere, Jamie Carragher showed he hasn’t lost his competitive spirit and Jose Luis Chilavert had a typically quiet one.

We’ve rounded up the best of the action on and off the pitch.

Bukayo Saka

That laugh afterwards. We need to cherish this kid.

Spare a thought for Ruben Neves and Nelson Semedo.

Ndombele made them tackled EACH OTHER😭😭

Jamie Carragher

The professional instinct inside Carragher lives on.

Sam Allardyce

You just know Big Sam is well aware of this fact too.

Sam Allardyce has now won more points at Anfield (5) since April 2017 than all 'Big Six' teams combined (4).

A third of all points won by visiting teams in that timeframe have been by teams managed by Allardyce. #LIVWBA

Leonid Slutsky

This year just keeps getting weirder.

What is former Hull, Russia + CSKA Moscow head coach Leonid Slutsky up to these days?

Oh, just singing Mariah Carey with his Rubin players. Genuinely must watch. https://t.co/dVYO2vj8v2
