15 things we loved this weekend: Salah, Rudiger, Scott, Owen…
Football delivered again this weekend, as Liverpool went top of the Premier League and Manchester United suffered a chastening home defeat to Bournemouth.
Elsewhere, both Emma Hayes and Alex Scott spoke out against misogyny in football while Michael Owen delivered an anecdote for the ages.
We’ve identified 15 moments over the last few days that we’ve been playing on repeat.

Mohamed Salah
One of Liverpool’s GOATs.
200 – Mohamed Salah has scored his 200th goal for Liverpool in all competitions, becoming only the fifth player in the club’s history to reach that landmark. Prolific. pic.twitter.com/0cJYgQByiv

Alisson
Another match-saving stop from Liverpool’s big Brazilian.
This would be a career highlight for most goalkeepers, for Alisson it’s just a routine stop he does every week.
Greatest of ALL TIME.
ALL. TIME. pic.twitter.com/37YIEaPUW1
