Nine things we loved this week: Mahrez, Morata, Wenger, Ampadu & more
Club football may have taken a backseat this weekend, but Chelsea and Manchester City men still managed to catch the eye – while Arsene Wenger made us miss him.
England continued their resurgence under Gareth Southgate by beating Croatia to win their Nations League group, while the likes of Germany and Poland were relegated.
We’ve rounded up the best of the action on and off the field from around the world.
Riyad Mahrez
We can’t get enough of that defender’s attempts to handball it off the line.
Valentino Lazaro
If you’re going to score a 93rd-minute winner, do it like this.
Arsene Wenger
Love you, Arsene.
Arsene Wenger on his zip troubles at Arsenal: "They are too long and sometimes the zip didn’t work. I struggled a lot with that. But, in the end, because people were showing it I was conscious that I was under scrutiny when doing it!"

Alvaro Morata
Back in form, you say?
Andrej Kramaric
We thought he’d missed his chance to shoot at least twice.
Haris Seferovic
A hat-trick as Switzerland came back from 2-0 down to beat Belgium 5-2 and win their Nations League group.
Congo v DR Congo
We’re disappointed the ref didn’t let play continue…
Masahide Tomikoshi
The Japanese photographer covered every World Cup between 1974 and 2010. His Instagram feed is a goldmine, especially for excellent photos of Diego Maradona. Go down the rabbit hole.
Ethan Ampadu
Meet our new favourite footballer in the world.
