19 things we loved this weekend: Fati, Mbappe, Jesus, Richarlison…

Planet Football • 22 Aug 2022

It wasn’t a vintage array of Premier League fixtures this weekend, but brilliant performances from Arsenal and Leeds and a cracking game between Newcastle and Manchester City made sure it was still plenty exciting.

There was some thrilling action across Europe too, with Barcelona bagging four, PSG knocking in seven and Werder Bremen producing a comeback for the ages against Borussia Dortmund.

We’ve rounded up the best of the weekend’s football for your viewing pleasure.

Harry Kane

Now ahead of Sergio Aguero and up to fourth in the all-time rankings.

Gabriel Jesus

Ronaldo Nazario was spotted at Tottenham this weekend but we swear he had the ball at his feet in Bournemouth.

Utterly ridiculous from Gabby 🔥 #BOUARS pic.twitter.com/DYluKTmRrX

Richarlison

See ya later mate.

Kevin De Bruyne

Over 12 hours later we’re still trying to work out how he saw this pass was on.

Nah this De Bruyne pass is disgusting

Penny for Jack Grealish’s thoughts.

“Miggy can Grealish have your shirt”

Kylian Mbappe

Eight seconds. Neymar – Messi – Mbappe – goal. This was the first of Mbappe’s hat-trick in a 7-1 win. May as well hand them the title now.

WHAT A START! 😱

It's taken Kylian Mbappé just 8 SECONDS to open the scoring for PSG against Lille 😮‍💨 pic.twitter.com/ziibIszhWL

Luka Modric

He’ll be 37 next month. Still the best midfielder in Europe.

"Fabulous finish from Vini Jr.!" 🗣️

Outstanding footwork from Vinicius to round the goalkeeper and finish 😍 pic.twitter.com/Nx4sLCxGnH

Alvaro Morata

Shame it didn’t go in, but what a touch. We told you he was back at it.

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia

Remember the name.

What a player Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is turning out to be 😮‍💨

Three goals in his first two Serie A games for Napoli ⚽️

The dummy and then the strike. This kid is special 🔥 pic.twitter.com/kP7LNrtdLQ

Ousmane Dembele

Everything about this is a delight.

Brilliant Barca! 🔥🔥

A fantastic back heel from Ansu Fati provides the assist and Ousmane Dembélé smashes it home to make it 2-1 to the visitors 🔵🔴 pic.twitter.com/iLHwyaERm0

Ansu Fati

This too. Robert Lewandowski got a brace as well. Scary.

SUPER SUB! 😱

Ansu Fati has transformed this game since coming on 15 minutes ago 🙌

Two assists, now he gets his goal, and he's staking a claim for a regular starting spot 👀 pic.twitter.com/mV5kXVh5VP

Werder Bremen

Oh, Dortmund.

Werder Bremen were 2-0 down away at Dortmund after 89 minutes yesterday and came back to win it 3-2 with a 95th minute goal from Oliver Burke.

These highlights are well worth a watch.

John Pulskamp

Not sure this can go down as a double save, exactly, but it’s some bit of goalkeeping.

Lautaro Martinez

That old Romelu Lukaku link-up again. It’s like he never left.

Inter have their first goal at the San Siro this season ⚽️

Lautaro Martínez & Romelu Lukaku combine brilliantly to score the game's opener 😍 pic.twitter.com/npE555qhvk

Domenico Berardi

A perfect goal, aesthetically speaking.

What a RIDICULOUS strike from Domenico Berardi 😱😱

This is one of the cleanest volleys you'll see all season 🤤 pic.twitter.com/6C0yZUqj9T
