16 things we loved this weekend: Messi, Neymar, Trippier, Neville, Luiz
What a weekend of football, eh? That Kevin De Bruyne free-kick. That Spurs comeback. That Leeds late winner. All the while Newcastle and Arsenal turned on the style.
And we were treated to some brilliant football in the Football League and Women’s Super League. There was also late drama across Europe, with further twists and turns in the Bundesliga, La Liga, Serie A and Ligue 1 title races.
Here are our favourite moments from the weekend’s football.
Kieran Trippier
Casually done.

Jesse Marsch
The Wisconsin Alan Pardew
I like Jesse Marsch, I can’t help it.
He’s so unashamedly enthusiastic, this celebration is his pure essence distilled to a couple of seconds.
