13 things we loved this Bank Holiday weekend: Sancho, Klopp, Mbappe…
It was another action-packed weekend of football as the end of the season draws ever closer, with players and managers from Barcelona, Liverpool and Manchester United stealing the headlines.
Manchester City moved closer to retaining their title with a narrow win at Fulham, featuring yet another goal from a certain Norweigan striker, and there were joyous scenes throughout the Football League too.
Here are 13 moments we couldn’t get enough of this weekend.
Jadon Sancho
This was the biggest sign yet that Sancho is getting his mojo back.
