While big games can sometimes underwhelm, Liverpool‘s 2-2 draw with Manchester City had everybody entertained at the weekend.

Elsewhere, Luis Suarez exacted revenge on former manager Ronald Koeman by scoring in Atletico Madrid’s 2-0 against Barcelona.

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

Bruno Fernandes

Where would Manchester United be without Fernandes?

Bruno Fernandes' assist for @ManUtd was his 50th goal involvement in 58 #PL appearances (30 goals, 20 assists)

Only Andy Cole (43), Alan Shearer (54) and Eric Cantona (54) reached 50 combined goals and assists in fewer matches 🎯#MUNEVE pic.twitter.com/4IVgELFIhI

Bernardo Silva

He even managed to make Virgil van Dijk look foolish.

Watch this. He’s one of the best in the world, the most complete for sure. Who else can do it like @BernardoCSilva?pic.twitter.com/XkTrJhOkOt
