16 things we loved this weekend: Bellingham, Neville, Rudiger, The Fonz…
There was plenty of football to be occupied with this weekend as the Premier League returned following League Cup action, Jude Bellingham took the p*ss in La Liga and the WSL returned for the 2023-24 season.
Sunday was a somewhat quieter affair, with just one Premier League match as all eyes turned to the climax of the Ryder Cup, but there was still some fine football to be enjoyed across Europe.
Here are 16 of our favourite moments from the weekend.
Gary Neville
Didn’t know the Churchill dog got a gig at Sky Sports…
"PGMOL acknowledge a significant human error occurred during the first half of Tottenham Hotspur v Liverpool."
