17 things we loved this weekend: Rodriguez, Ceballos, Neymar, Rooney
Please, please, please can somebody check on Patrice Evra after the former Manchester United left-back stole the show following their 6-1 defeat to Tottenham at Old Trafford on Sunday?
Elsewhere, Aston Villa produced an incredible 7-2 win over reigning champions Liverpool and James Rodriguez continued to make life in the Premier League look far, far too easy.
We’ve rounded up the best of the action on and off the pitch.
Man Utd & Liverpool
Absolutely bonkers.
A day to forget to Manchester United and Liverpool… 😳
The first time in the two clubs' history they have conceded 6️⃣ goals on the same matchday. pic.twitter.com/fvEq58tEEP

Patrice Evra
This was almost as entertaining as the game.
"I really would like to end my contract with Sky – I know you have to have some filter when you talk on TV." 😳

Shameless behaviour from the former Man Utd captain.

Adrian
It’s fair to say Liverpool really miss Alisson.

Neymar
Stop it.
The small amount of fans at the Parc des Princes just had to applaud.

Dani Ceballos
The more you watch it, the harder it looks. We definitely couldn’t do it.
James Rodriquez
What a signing this has been.
🔥 James Rodriguez has been involved in 5 goals in his 2 @premierleague apps for @Everton at Goodison Park (3 goals & 2 assists)

Angel Gomes
Not bad, fella.
Golo do @boavistaoficial ! Golo de @agomes_47 ! Que golaço do médio inglês das panteras! Um chapéu do meio-campo a apanhar o guarda-redes do Moreirense totalmente desprevenido. Para ver e rever. pic.twitter.com/yYw7yaaGeb

This foul
Remember that Carlsberg advert where Jack Charlton incredulously cried “a shirt pull?!” after asking the referee why he’d been booked? We really hope this fella did the same.

Marcus Harness
Not a bad hat-trick goal…
😍 If Lionel Messi scores this, social media goes into meltdown.
👏 Give Portsmouth's Marcus Harness the Twitter love he deserves…

Alessandro Florenzi
He’s made this look too easy.
HE TEED IT UP FOR HIMSELF 🤭

Neil Warnock
Never change, Colin.

Erling Haaland
The numbers are getting sillier while the all-round game is getting sharper. We really feel sorry for defenders facing him.

Robert Lewandowski
Some things never change.
Wins penalty. Takes penalty. Scores penalty.
