15 things we loved this weekend: Vardy, TAA, Lewandowski, Ramos & more

Planet Football • 26 Oct 2020

While Manchester United‘s game against Chelsea failed to deliver, Patrice Evra and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink provided plenty of entertainment this weekend.

Elsewhere, Real Madrid beat Barcelona 3-1 in the first El Clasico of the season and Ajax recorded the biggest win in Dutch top-flight history.

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

Leroy Sane

Bayern Munich were already unstoppable last season, it doesn’t seem fair that they’ve added Sane to their team.

SO good from Leroy Sané! 💫

The Bayern winger curls in a stunner for the German champions!

Beautiful finish 😍 pic.twitter.com/0KpZpozydF

Robert Lewandowski

Lewandowski is actually getting better with age.

In 2019-20, Robert Lewandowski became the first player in Bundesliga history to score 10 goals in the opening six games.

In 2020-21, Robert Lewandowski has just become the first player in Bundesliga history to score 10 goals in the opening five games.

Goal. Machine. 🤖 pic.twitter.com/MJfKG8DmSI

Sergio Ramos

That’s one way to stop Lionel Messi.

Marco Asensio

Asensio with footwork that Messi would’ve been proud of.

Ansu Fati

Yet another record broken by the boy destined to preserve Barca’s DNA.

1 – Aged 17 years and 359 days, @FCBarcelona's Ansu Fati has become the youngest player to score in #ElClásico in all comps in the 21st century, breaking the previous record held by Vinícius Júnior (19y 233d). Star. pic.twitter.com/MHi9zMYEJv

David Silva

It’s fair to say Silva’s still got it.

Real Sociedad are on fire! 🔥

David Silva couldn't have weighted that pass any more perfectly, and Alexander Isak took it in stride and buried it in the corner 😍 pic.twitter.com/3p85F2DB3W

Jermain Defoe

We could watch this on repeat all day.

Neymar

He’s just taking the piss now.

Neymar fully doesn’t rate this league. How you gonna try this in your own half? 😭😭

Evra & Hasselbaink

This was far more entertaining than the game.

🗣 "It was boring."@Evra & @jf9hasselbaink argument about Chelsea & United's defensive tactics is the entertainment of the night 👏 pic.twitter.com/xlNdqGicVd

Trent Alxander-Arnold

He took inspiration from another Liverpool icon.

Daniel Podence

This is just rude.

"Those two have had to pay to get back in there…" 😂

In a first-half of few incidents, @Carra23 picks out Daniel Podence's dancing feet as a highlight
