15 things we loved this weekend: Tevez, Fernandes, Milner, Gilmour & more
Manchester United‘s victory over Manchester City stole the headlines in the Premier League this weekend, leaving Liverpool just two wins away from winning the title for the first time in 30 years.
Elsewhere, Carlos Tevez was once again the hero for Boca Juniors, Billy Gilmour continued to take senior football by storm and Luke Ayling turned into Marco van Basten for Leeds United.
We’ve rounded up the best of the action on and off the pitch.
Jakob Glesnes
Bloody hell.
Jonjo Shelvey
It’s almost made even more beautiful by Newcastle missing the subsequent chance.
Carlos Tevez
You will be surprised to hear he really enjoyed scoring the goal that won Boca Juniors the league.

Billy Gilmour
He must be good if even Roy Keane likes him.

Sure, Thomas Muller scored, but would you just look at that pass.

Dean Henderson
England’s No.1?
Louie Sibley
The vicar of Sibley. (Doesn’t make any sense, but this is a good goal.)

Turns out Marcelo Bielsa has been playing Tony Yeboah at right-back.
