19 things we loved this weekend: Rashford, Gerrard, Keane & more

Planet Football • 24 Jan 2022

We had to savour the Premier League action this weekend ahead of the upcoming international break, but it didn’t disappoint.

There was late drama at Old Trafford, Manchester City dropping points and rekindling a potential title race and an absorbing London derby as Antonio Conte returned to Stamford Bridge. Then there was plenty of great stuff happening across Europe, at AFCON, and lower down the pyramid.

Here are 19 of our favourite moments from the weekend.

Scott McTominay

There’s a lot going on here but McTominay’s tumble is hilarious.

Roy Keane

Keane never forgets.

"I'm a bit wary of saying they've gone sloppy in case Klopp comes after me."

Roy Keane didn’t fancy another tense exchange with Klopp after the game 😅

Barcelona

A lovely moment.

Virginia Torrecilla's appearance in the Spanish Super Cup final was her first for Atletico Madrid since undergoing surgery for a brain tumour.

Opponents Barcelona threw her in the air at full time to celebrate.
