17 things we loved this weekend: Cavani, Robertson, Foden, Ibra & more
After their goalless draw in the Premier League, Manchester United and Liverpool put things right with an entertaining clash in the FA Cup this weekend.
Elsewhere, Borussia Dortmund’s Jadon Sancho and Erling Haaland continued to show why they’re two of the most sought-after players in world football.
We’ve rounded up the best of the action on and off the field.

Ben Tozer
As well as striking fear into the Manchester City defence every time Cheltenham got a throw-in, Tozer made one of the best goal-line blocks you’ll see all season.
WOW! 😳
Thunderous shot from Benjamin Mendy 💥
