13 things we loved this weekend: Son, Kane, Bellingham, Grealish…
The Manchester derby and El Clasico dominated the headlines on this brilliant weekend of football, but there were plenty of other memorable moments elsewhere.
Tottenham remain top of the Premier League, Xabi Alonso’s Bayer Leverkusen are still ahead of Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga and Nice find themselves top of Ligue 1.
Here are 13 things we loved this weekend:
Son Heung-min
A gent even when he’s nicking the opposition’s water.

Crysensio Summerville
Huddersfield couldn’t cope with the Leeds winger.

Brentford
What a stat.
Ethan Pinnock has played in more Premier League wins at Stamford Bridge than Enzo Fernandez has (3-2).

Jude Bellingham
Do England boast the best player in the world?
ElClásico glory belongs to Jude Bellingham and Real Madrid! ⚪
In club football's biggest fixture, the Englishman:
– scored his best goal yet for Real Madrid
– scored a 92nd minute winner
He is SPECIAL 😤😤 pic.twitter.com/BJ3k8e6Bpe

Neal Maupay
The Premier League sh*thouse king remains undefeated.
Neal Maupay was the first player to be booked in the Chelsea vs Brentford game for this 🙊

Mario Balotelli & M’Baye Niang
All penalties should be decided like this.
Can't decide who gets to take the penalty?
No worries – just play rock paper scissors like Mario Balotelli and Mbaye Niang. Sensational content.pic.twitter.com/3z5gGP0ZMR

Will Still
Oh no, it’s happening again…
Will Still was sent off in the game vs Lorient today….
At the end of the game, he waited for the referee to apologise for his actions. Nice gesture. 🇧🇪👏 pic.twitter.com/PnxgQhq3Kk

Lethal combination. Left the poor defender in heaps.

Inter’s ultras
Sensational sh*thousery.
Inter’s Ultras are handing out a reported 30,000 whistles to jeer against Lukaku in Inter vs Roma.
They’ve instructed fans to ‘give him hell’ whenever he’s on the ball.
The whistles were forbidden upon Roma’s request, but it seems like the Ultras are sticking to their ‘warm… pic.twitter.com/YDdjMxWeri
