19 things we loved this weekend: Saka, Diaz, De Bruyne, Mount & more

Planet Football • 07 Mar 2022

Manchester City stole the headlines this weekend by producing a brilliant performance to beat Manchester United 4-1 at the Etihad.

Elsewhere, Arsenal moved into the top four with a 3-2 win over Watford and Real Madrid beat Real Sociedad to extend their lead at the top of La Liga.

We’ve rounded up the best of the action on and off the field.

Roberto Carlos

I bet there’s one poor guy who decided to stay in rather than go to that pub on Friday night.

Luis Diaz

Diaz has made an immediate impact at Liverpool.

Trent Alexander-Arnold

This could prove to be a huge moment in the title race.

Kevin De Bruyne

What a player.

Kevin De Bruyne had more shots (6 vs 5), registered more shots on target (4 vs 2) and created more chances for team-mates (5 vs 2) than the entire Man Utd side combined during his time on the pitch.

2 goals, 1 assist… he's completely embarrassed them. 🤯 pic.twitter.com/bQUdvoUdZ6

Bukayo Saka

Forget the goal and assist and just look at this first touch.

Mikel Arteta

A great manager and an even better ballboy.

The boy is on fire – will Chelsea look to activate his buy-back clause?
