17 things we loved this weekend: Ronaldo, Ramsdale, Keane, Ibra…
The headlines from the world of football this weekend were dominated by Manchester United bouncing back from last week’s Liverpool drubbing with an impressively dominant 3-0 win away to Tottenham.
That was far from the only notable story, however, with plenty of great matches across Europe’s major leagues and beyond.
We’ve rounded up the best of the action on and off the field.
Aaron Ramsdale
If Peter Schmeichel says it’s a good save, then it’s a bloody good save.
Aaron Ramsdale that is insane! 😱
How he kept out this James Maddison free-kick, we will not know! 🧤⛔️
Stunning! pic.twitter.com/4rzHEyjvIV

Aaron Ramsdale x2
As well as being a great goalkeeper, Ramsdale is also a wonderful shithouse.

This stat
Spooky.
At 36 years and 267 days, @Cristiano Ronaldo is the oldest player to both score and assist a goal in a #PL match since Didier Drogba (December 2014)
The Chelsea forward was also 36y 267d and also achieved the feat against Spurs#TOTMUN pic.twitter.com/t96FHArLqf

Another goal for Vinicius Jr, but this one is all about that backheel from Mariano.
