There were so many talking points from the world of soccer this weekend that it was honestly quite hard to narrow them down. As a Tottenham fan, I could easily have made this a bitter rant about this weekend representing our entire season going down the toilet, but I won’t (maybe…). I went with four, ranging from the controversial, to the embarrassing, to the glorious, hoping to give you a proper taste for what went down in the EPL and beyond (and threw in a few cracking goals to round it off).

Note: I deliberately haven’t included the tragic news about 25-year-old Livorno player Piermario Morosini, which is clearly the most important story of the weekend, but has already been covered here. It goes without saying that all of our thoughts are with his family.
