15 things we loved this weekend: Salah, Lanzini, Felix, Ziyech & more
We’re not gonna lie, the international break felt like a bit of a struggle. Thankfully, the Barclays returned this weekend and remains as batsh*t mental as ever.
Aside from Spurs and West Ham playing out this week’s comedy clash, we were also treated to the Merseyside, Old Firm and Milan derbies.
And we’ve rounded up the best of the action on and off the field.
Manuel Lanzini
The Premier League just keeps getting sillier and sillier.
Not bad, Manuel. Not bad at allšpic.twitter.com/qjYAQXghuY

Dani Alves
When we saw a highlight titled ‘Dani Alves free-kick’, we weren’t expecting this.

Yussuf Poulsen
To do this at any point of a game is ridiculous. To do this a minute after coming on is absolutely outrageous.
Oh wow, Yussuf Poulsen! š²

Mohamed Salah
Some record, that. Now how many more will he add to it?

Yannick Bolasie
Despite attracting plenty of criticism, Bolasie remains a force of positivity.
This fellas has took some shite off a section of our supporters but I want everyone on here to know what a true gentleman and a caring human being he really is. I walked into my house after a gruelling 6 hour chemo session to find this parcel and letter. Thanks @YannickBolasie https://t.co/zihG1ueDyy pic.twitter.com/Lxx881Osw2

Hakim Ziyech
Amid Chelsea’ riches of attacking talent, some people were questioning whether they even needed Ziyech. A 15-minute cameo at the weekend showed he provides one key ingredient: sauce.
