17 things we loved this weekend: Salah, Bellingham, Saliba, Ziyech…

Planet Football • 25 Oct 2021

Caught your breath yet? That was a weekend of football to remember, and not just thanks to Liverpool‘s historic 5-0 victory away to Manchester United.

After Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City treated us to some wonderful football on Friday and Saturday, there was a blockbuster Sunday, with El Clasico in Spain, Le Classique in France, Serie A’s Derby d’Italia, not to mention Ajax thrashing historic rivals PSV 5-0.

Here are 17 of our highlights from a brilliant weekend.

Mohamed Salah

What can you even say at this point?

You're looking at the first opposition player to ever score a @PremierLeague hat-trick at Old Trafford 🇪🇬👑

What a way to score a last-minute equaliser.

WHAT A GOAL! 😱😱

Claudio Ranieri

The Premier League’s just that bit better with him around.

🗣 "Funny for you, for me last week it wasn't so funny." 🤣

Timo Werner

Missed out on the fun against Norwich and missed the best sweets too. Greens, obviously.

Timo Werner didn't fancy the yellow or orange wine gums, so he ended up with none 😂 pic.twitter.com/BDzDNOH8xZ

Joe Gelhardt

Quite the home debut. Remember the name.

Joe Gelhardt had more touches in the opposition box than any other player in today’s Premier League games (13).

No Leeds player had more shots (3) or shots on target (1), despite him only coming on in the 63rd minute. 👀 pic.twitter.com/QG1f4nffGC

That footwork from Salah! 🔥 pic.twitter.com/s2jf14ZcP4

A strike that the watching Steven Gerrard would have been proud of.

WHAT. A. GOAL. 💥

Take a bow Connor Ronan! 👏

Four goals, Cholito? Four!? That’s insane.

William Saliba

Just as good as Merih Demiral’s on Marcus Rashford earlier this week.

At what point do we start admitting La Real are title challengers?
