15 Things we loved this weekend: Joselu, Ronaldo, Crouch, Balogun…

Planet Football • 18 Sep 2023

Club football returned after the international break and there was plenty to sick our teeth into.

Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen played out an entertaining early-season six-pointer on Friday night, kicking off an entertaining weekend that saw Brighton register another remarkable win at Old Trafford, Tottenham and Aston Villa pull off insane late comeback wins and Leeds come away from Millwall with a statement victory in the Championship.

Here are 15 of our favourite moments.
