15 things we loved this weekend: Saka, Gavi, Ramsdale, Klopp & more
After several Premier League games were postponed, Liverpool’s 2-2 draw with Tottenham helped provide the entertainment at the weekend.
Elsewhere, Barcelona’s young players starred in a 3-2 win over Elche and Celtic came from behind to beat Hibernian in the Scottish League Cup final.
We’ve rounded up the best of the action on and off the field.
Jurgen Klopp
An angry Klopp always makes for great entertainment.
🗣 "I have no problems with any referees. Only you." 😡

Ray Parlour
Bowling and a quick pint must be the key to great goalscoring form.

Tyler Morton
What a stat.
19 – Tyler Morton is today making his first Premier League start for Liverpool. He is starting in midfield alongside James Milner, who made his Premier League debut in November 2002 for Leeds United, 10 days after Morton was born. Tutelage.

Alexander Isak
Isak is definitely getting snapped up by one of Europe’s biggest clubs in 2022.

The Fiorentina striker has been the breakout star of 2021.

Luis Alberto
An outrageous pass. Why didn’t he do this at Liverpool?
Tammy Abraham
Is there anything more entertaining than a really shit solo goal?
Tammy Abraham gets the ball in the 1st minute of the match, takes on 5 Atalanta players, leaves them all behind and scores.
The typical José Mourinho striker. pic.twitter.com/HNCQx6mWrO
