19 things we loved this weekend: Pepe, De Bruyne, Sancho, Keane and more – Planet Football
The Manchester City winning machine ploughed on with a 2-1 victory against West Ham at the weekend, making it 20 straight wins in all competitions.
Elsewhere, Roy Keane and Jamie Redknapp provided some brilliant pre-match entertainment, while Notts County’s Elisha Sam scored one of the goals of the season.
We’ve rounded up the best of the action on and off the field.
