19 things we loved this weekend: Aubameyang, Salah, Fati, Martinez
After a difficult start to the season, Arsenal earned plenty of plaudits for their 3-1 win over north London rivals Tottenham at the weekend.
Elsewhere, Ansu Fati returned to the Barcelona team after 10 months on the sidelines and showed why he’s been given the No.10 shirt.
Weโve rounded up the best of the action on and off the field.ย
Ian Wright
It’s fair to say that Wright enjoyed Arsenal’s win over Tottenham.

Mo Salah
Salah’s numbers really are incredible.
100 – Mohamed Salah has scored 100 goals in 151 Premier League games for Liverpool, reaching 100 top-flight goals in fewer appearances than any other player in Liverpoolโs history. Iconic. pic.twitter.com/6KMSbJlSKo

Emiliano Martinez
Martinezย is an absolutely world-classย shithouse.
Absolutely love the fact that Emiliano Martinez always finds a way to bring his penalty shithousery into the mix, just like in Copa Amรฉrica against Colombia.
Here, heโs seen gesturing towards CR7 to take it when Bruno had the ball in hand. Love it ๐ pic.twitter.com/qV1IHf45vc

Mattia Destro
We’ve never seen anything like this before.
Mattia Destro scored the 3-2 goal for Genoa in the 85โ with a water bottle in his hands ๐
โAt the end of the match I was so tired, I was cramping up. I was drinking water and didnโt know where to throw the bottle so I decided to just keep itโ pic.twitter.com/gcVMNUWQVS

A wonderful gesture from the Fulham players.
Incredible: Fulham players climb into crowd to celebrate goal with 13-Year Old fanย Rhys Porter who has cerebral palsy and suffered savage online abuse after posting footage of himself playing football. Beautiful moment of empathy and human kindness ๐ pic.twitter.com/mf0Dq33fII
