19 things we loved this weekend: Suarez, Matip, Fernandes, Rooney
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.
Joel Matip
Matip was all of us after that Mo Salah goal.

Jurgen Klopp
A fascinating watch.
You don’t get this level of tactical insight very often from Klopp. Grab it while you can. pic.twitter.com/IIU6OmDehY

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
