15 things we loved this weekend: Mane, Kane, Fernandes, Cancelo…
This weekend saw Arsenal and Tottenham play out a North London derby that lived up to the hype, Barcelona produce a ridiculous three-goal comeback, Harry Kane smash Bundesliga records and Newcastle score eight goals with eight different players.
Elsewhere, Manchester City and Inter have kept up their 100% winning records but Real Madrid’s fell after a 3-1 defeat away to city rivals Atletico. We’re only just catching our breath now as the dust settles on a frantic couple of days.
Here are 15 of our favourite moments from the weekend’s action.
Sadio Mane
Old friends reunited. Kind of.

Bruno Fernandes
Can he do this? Probably not. Wholesome, though. Weirdest bromance ever.
