17 things we loved this weekend: Aubameyang, Alisson, Sterling & more
All the attention was on the Premier League this weekend – and Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City men certainly caught the eye.
Sunday saw ‘Derby Day’ in England’s top flight as Arsenal beat Tottenham in a six-goal thriller and Liverpool stunned Everton with a late winner at Anfield.
We’ve rounded up the best of the action on and off the field around Europe.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang
Oh yes.
Matteo Guendouzi
Something tells us he enjoyed winning the north London Derby.

Alisson & Joe Gomez
Divock Origi may have come up with the (hilarious) winner, but they Merseyside derby could have been so different had it not been for Alisson’s save and Gomez’s goal-line clearance.
Cengiz Under
Pick that out.
Raheem Sterling
He’s now got the joint most goal and assists in the Premier League. Remember when people thought he was overpriced?
Paco Alcácer
He’s scored a goal every 17 minutes as a substitute this season. Ridiculous. And what a run by Jadon Sancho.
Jadon Sancho
Talking of Sancho, if you haven’t seen that dribble yet, you really need to. We’re getting all giddy about him.

Leroy Sané
If ever there was a clip to sum up why Pep Guardiola’s teams are so successful…
Fabian Delph
How’s your touch, lad?
Callum Paterson
Yeah, Junior Hoilett’s goal was cool, but did you see Callum Paterson two-foot the ball into the net afterwards?
Harry Wilson
A very satisfying finish and yet another screamer for his goals reel on loan at Derby.
Pajtim Kasami
He’s at it again.

Ousmane Dembele
It came to nothing, like, but we enjoyed this.
Galatasaray
Bit much, lads.

Caleb Ekuban
The on-loan Leeds striker was expected to miss Trabzonspor’s clash with Kayserispor after his mother passed away earlier in the week. Ekuban asked to play and came off the bench to score the opener and set his side on their way to a 2-0 win.
Caleb Ekuban lost his mother earlier this week. Today he played and put Trabzonspor ahead in the 82nd minute as they won 2-0. He burst into tears when he scored. Go and hug everyone you love. https://t.co/1W3NFzG3wQ

Claudio Ranieri
What a man.
Fulham fans sing, "Ranieri, he comes from Italy, he f*cking hates Chelsea".
Claudio isn't happy and signals them to stop.— Mark Worrall (@gate17marco) December 2, 2018
