After suffering heavy defeats earlier in the season, Manchester United and Liverpool both recorded convincing wins in the Premier League this weekend.

Elsewhere, Borussia Dortmund’s Youssoufa Moukoko made history in the Bundesliga and Rafael Leao wasted no time in scoring for AC Milan against Sassuolo.

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

Youssoufa Moukoko

What were you doing at 16? Actually don’t answer that…

👶 YOUNGEST EVER 🙌

Youssoufa Moukoko becomes the youngest goalscorer in Bundesliga history, and what a time to do it! 🤩

A great moment for the Dortmund rising star 👏 pic.twitter.com/0RJIeUDhpR

Bruno Fernandes

We knew Fernandes was good but we couldn’t have predicted that he’d be this good.

Most goal involvements by midfielders in Europe's top five leagues since Bruno Fernandes' PL debut:

29 – Bruno Fernandes
28
27
26
25
24
23 – Henrik Mkhitaryan
22
21
20 – Kevin De Bruyne

Lionel Messi

Yet another record for Messi.

👑 𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐒 🤴
Leo #Messi equals @Pele as the all time top goalscorer for one club WITH 643 goals! 🐐

Memphis Depay

There are very few things better than a cheeky panenka.

Never in doubt 🥶

Presnel Kimpembe

This is one of the best pieces of last-ditch defending we’ve ever seen.

Tackle of the season contender from PSG's Presnel Kimpembe! 💥

Three vs. one on the break, tweaks a muscle but still powers through to deny Lille's Burak Yilmaz what would have been a certain goal! 🤯 pic.twitter.com/BBiqLCuVPu

Rafael Leao

This makes Scott McTominay look slow out of the blocks.

Milan score after just 6 SECONDS! 😱

Unbelievable start for Pioli's side as Rafael Leao scores straight from kick off 🔴⚫ pic.twitter.com/eiEP4beGtC

Raul de Tomas

We’ll always take joy in watching our former Football Manager signings shine.

Raul de Tomas scored this for Espanyol on Sunday and now we finally feel vindicated for signing him as a wonderkid on Football Manager about six years ago.pic.twitter.com/Kk4y2yrl9g
