17 things we loved this weekend: Mbappe, Tierney, Gavi, Pulisic & more

Europe’s top leagues may have had a week off due to the international break, but there was still plenty of exciting action around the world with World Cup qualifiers aplenty.
The likes of France and Spain secured their place at Qatar 2022, while Sam Allardyce pulled out the dance moves during a charity match.
We’ve rounded up the best of the action on and off the field.
Kieran Tierney
What a tackle.

Tell us how you really feel, Roy.
"That's embarrassing, he's been a disgrace the last few months for Man Utd."

Gareth Southgate
Unsurprisingly, Southgate had a slightly different reaction to Maguire’s celebration.
“Is he a Hulk Hogan fan?”

Alexsandar Mitrovic
It’s fair to say that Mitrovic enjoyed himself after sending Serbia to the World Cup.

This steward
A man invaded the pitch during Canada’s vs Costa Rica. One steward saw it as a chance to try out for the NFL.

Mauricio
He got a yellow card for this. The ref later said that it was for acting “in a way that disrespected the game.”
O Maurício tomou amarelo nesse lance por "desrespeito ao jogo".
