15 things we loved this weekend: Hazard, Mane, Messi, Grealish & more
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer suffered his first Premier League defeat as Manchester United manager this weekend, while Liverpool kept up the pressure on Manchester City in the title race.
While there was plenty of excitement in England’s top tier, Jack Grealish had a day he’ll never forget for Aston Villa and there were plenty of eye-catching goals on the continent.
We’ve rounded up the best of the action on and off the field.
Eden Hazard
The man makes football look far too easy. He’s now scored 50 home Premier League goals for Chelsea.
Jack Grealish
Now that’s karma.
Genki Haraguchi
When your luck’s out…
Lionel Messi
He could quite easily have had a penalty here but told the referee he hadn’t been fouled. Fair play. Although it’s not like he’s struggling for goals…
Ciro Immobile
Speaking of which…
Raul De Tomas
It counted for nothing, like, but this was nice.
| GOAL! |
The upset is on at Camp Nou!

Lucas Biglia
This wasn’t the only great free-kick scored this weekend…
James Ward-Prowse
Told you.
Will Ferrell
You stay classy, Los Angeles.
Will Ferrell turning up with the 3252 all the way from his owners' box is amazing. How many owners in the world of soccer are doing things like this? Another great atmosphere tonight in LA. #LAFC #LAFCvPOR #MLS pic.twitter.com/sxaXboq3cp

Sergio Aguero
When one nutmeg just isn’t enough.
Bernd Leno
He was rather good for Arsenal on Sunday. But Sead Kolasinac was sick. Literally.
Dejan Lovren
Jordan Henderson’s laugh. Shaq, you’re a bad man.

Sadio Mane
This has gone under the radar a bit. What a season he’s having.
If you take away penalties, no player has scored more Premier League goals than Sadio Mane this season (16)#LFC #LIVBUR pic.twitter.com/QFj4vbYhbj
