11 things we loved this weekend: Klopp’s assistant, Rooney, Dembele
Liverpool, West Ham and Manchester City men all caught our eye this weekend, while two former Manchester United players also made us smile.
The Premier League got underway this weekend as reigning champions City started off with victory at Arsenal, while there was also a host of other action around the world.
We’ve rounded up the best moments on and off the field.

Jurgen Klopp
Perhaps the aforementioned Liverpool coach could have done with copying Klopp’s celebration…

Ousmane Dembele
He’s absolutely tw*tted that.
Bernardo Silva
He’s going to be a bit special this year, isn’t he?
Jack Wilshere and Mark Noble
Watching both midfielders getting hit in the b*llocks seconds apart from each other is strangely hypnotic.
Gianluigi Buffon
The PSG goalkeeper – it feels weird saying that – spared Thiago Silva’s blushes with a brilliant save from his own defender.

Memphis Depay
Aesthetically pleasing free-kick alert.
Rotherham and Ipswich
Supporters of both clubs paid tribute to Rotherham fan Barry Chuckle, who sadly passed away last week.
