Jack and Manny discuss all the big matches and storylines from this past weekend:
Brentford’s 3-2 victory over Nottingham Forest and Ivan Toney’s clever rule-breaking before sweeping in a free kick.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s (valid) criticism of the Ballon d’Or and FIFA “The Best,” awards that he said are losing credibility.
Bayer Leverkusen’s thrilling stoppage-time victory over RB Leipzig, coming from behind twice to maintain their unbeaten record across all competitions this season. Xabi Alonso will be Real Madrid’s head coach within three years!
Arsenal’s 5-0 demolition of Crystal Palace, a bounce-back game for the would-be title challengers and big problems for Roy Hodgson.
THE SET PIECE: the top four young attacking midfielders in Europe.
Two points bizarrely dropped for West Ham in a 2-2 draw with Sheffield United.
Liverpool’s 4-0 victory over Bournemouth, more a showcase of the Reds’ ruthlessness in front of goal than dominace throughout the game. Diogo Jota is a sniper!
