Nine things we loved this weekend: Sancho, Coutinho, Mane, Foster & more

Liverpool continued their relentless pursuit of the Premier League title this weekend, although there were a couple of touching moments involving their opponents Watford.
Elsewhere, we’re delighted to inform you Italian football is completely batsh*t even at under-16 level.
We’ve rounded up the best of the action on and off the pitch.
Gaston Pereiro
Goal of the weekend.
Luka Stojanovic
Actually, is this goal of the weekend?
Luka Stojanovic just scored for Cukaricki against Zvezda from his own half. Absolutely sensational @SerbianFooty pic.twitter.com/1HTLaW2Whq

Fede Valverde
We reckon he enjoyed Karim Benzema’s late equaliser.

Italian football
Even at under-16 level, it’s ridiculous. The goal is an absolute rocket too.
Incredible scenes during Sassuolo vs Juventus U16: Juventus have three players sent off in the space of a minute including the keeper & a Juve outfield player is forced to go in goal. Sassuolo then score with the final kick of the game to make it 3-3. from r/soccer
Ben Foster
One of the good guys.
Not enough positive stories get published about sports stars but take a minute too read this and appreciate the kindness of @WatfordFC ‘s Ben Foster and his family, amazing ❤️👏🏽 pic.twitter.com/aSNrnG3jJK

Jadon Sancho
Outrageous.
Jadon Sancho is the first player this season to score 10+ goals and provide 10+ assists in a top five European league and European competition combined.
