15 things we loved this weekend: Ramsey, Elliott, Ramsdale & more
While the league seasons may have ended, there was still plenty of entertaining football on display in the UEFA Nations League over the weekend.
Elsewhere, England suffered more penalty shootout heartbreak as Arsene Wenger’s World XI won Soccer Aid at the London Stadium.
We’ve rounded up the best of the action on and off the field.
Aaron Ramsey
Ramsey produced a timely reminder of his abilities during Wales’ draw with Belgium.

Aaron Ramsdale
Ramsdale did his ambitions of becoming England’s No.1 no harm whatsoever with this save.
