15 things we loved this weekend: Son, Salah, Sancho, Jones, Verratti…
Liverpool may be streaking away at the top of the Premier League, but Jurgen Klopp’s men were stunned by League One Shrewsbury Town on Sunday.
Elsewhere, Jadon Sancho continued being brilliant at football, Marco Verratti made the most Marco Verratti tackle imaginable and Lucas Perez confused a Villarreal fan.
We’ve rounded up the best of the action on and off the pitch.
Mo Salah
A moment to sum up Liverpool’s second half against Shrewsbury.

Son Heung-min
So close.
Lucas Perez
Something tells us this Villarreal fan didn’t want the Deportivo striker’s shirt.

Neymar
Visually very satisfying.
Jadon Sancho
He’s outrageously good.
Jadon Sancho has now provided 25 league assists since the start of last season, more than any other player in Europe's top five divisions.

Josip Ilicic
A poor man’s Maynor Figueroa.
😱 OUTRAGEOUS FROM ILICIC!
😍 The quick free kick from just inside the Torino half catches Sirigu off his line and flies into the top corner!
🙌 What an INCREDIBLE GOAL pic.twitter.com/mJtjrYjUyU

Oren Britton
A bicycle kick goalline clearance? Yes please.
Haris Seferovic
Contender for miss of the season.
Phil Jones
Of course Jones got covered in mud. Of course he did.

Mato Jajalo
You cannot argue with that.
Shout out to Mato Jajalo for his explanation on why Udinese lost this weekend: "The difference is that Parma scored goals and we didn't." pic.twitter.com/a2dsGbkRdr

Gent
After two Liverpool fans confused Genk with Gent earlier this season, they were invited to the match between the two Belgian clubs this weekend.
Lazio
Fair play.
Lazio fans win it all:
absolutely breathtaking choreography for derby honoring Michelangelo’s Last Judgment at Sistin Chapel.
