13 things we loved this weekend: Messi, Moukoko, Fernandes, Mane & more
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.

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:

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

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
