The Premier League returned this weekend for Gameweek nine of the season after a relatively exciting international break, which saw England beat Spain 3-2.
Saturday’s fixtures involved three rivalries with Man United travelling to Stamford Bridge, Tottenham playing West Ham and Southampton visiting Bournemouth.
At Stamford Bridge it was almost more exciting off the pitch than on it, with Jose Mourinho at the centre of a touchline bust-up, whereas an outstanding performance from Hugo Lloris helped Spurs clinch the points from the Hammers.
You know all the scores but what about the moments you missed? Take a look through our gallery.
Mourinho Melee
Man United suffered a sucker punch when Ross Barkley equalised in the 96th minute in the early kick-off on Saturday, to deny Mourinho’s men of a famous win.
Tensions were obviously high but it all boiled over when a member of Chelsea’s backroom staff celebrated right in front of the United boss, something he didn’t take too well.
What followed was a touchline fracas that ended with Maurizio Sarri and Mourinho shaking hands.
The offending coach was Marco Ianni, who has since been charged by the FA for his conduct.
Martial Reaction
After scoring twice to complete United’s comeback at Stamford Bridge, Anthony Martial was hauled off by Jose Mourinho as he looked to defend their lead.
The Frenchman’s reaction showed that he was more than disappointed to have been taken off.
Ross Barkley Continues Form
Chelsea’s resurgence under Maurizio Sarri has been impressive with the majority of the squad all playing their part in their unbeaten start.
Obviously Eden Hazard is getting the headlines for his goals but Ross Barkley is finally showing the fans why Chelsea signed him.
His equaliser plus his performance against Spain for England made for a very good week for the midfielder.
Kompany Red Card?
Man City captain Vincent Kompany was very lucky to make it into the second minute of his side’s game against Burnley after a horrible challenge on Burnley winger Aaron Lennon.
After receiving treatment, Lennon showed off the impact of the challenge and Burnley boss Sean Dyche revealed the midfielder had to have a couple of stitches at half-time.
Kompany wasn’t the only lucky man at the Etihad…
Sane Red Card?
Leroy Sane was also lucky to not see his challenge on Matt Lowton awarded a red card by referee Jon Moss.
Despite the hosts leading 5-0, Sane kicked out in frustration at the right-back, making no real attempt to play the ball.
Should City’s Second Stood?
In all honesty, City can count themselves as very lucky on Saturday, two potential red cards not given and their second goal shouldn’t have stood.
After Leroy Sane went over in the area (a dive according to Sean Dyche), everybody on the pitch, except David Silva stopped waiting for a decision that didn’t come.
Silva then played the ball back to Bernardo Silva who tucked home, with Burnley only themselves to blame for not playing to the referee’s whistle.
But replays later revealed that before Silva got to the ball, it had actually gone over the line and should have been a goal kick to Burnley.
One word for this passage of play. Calamitous.
Aguero Miss
Over 1.8million FPL bosses made Sergio Aguero their captain this weekend and after 17 minutes he repaid them, with CIty’s opener.
However, from then on the Argentine had a nightmare of a game as he missed chance after chance, including a contender for miss of the season, just four yards from Joe Hart’s goal.
Lamela’s Celebration
With Dele Alli still out injured, Erik Lamela was given a rare start for Spurs when they travelled to the London Stadium.
The Argentine who had scored four and assisted three in seven games previous, showed once again signs of his brilliance with a dominant display.
He thoroughly deserved his goal on the 44th minute in which he celebrated in front of the West Ham supporters by pointing at the name on his back.
Moussa Sissoko Did Something
With Christian Eriksen also on the sidelines with Dele Alli, Pochettino’s midfield options are stretched, meaning Moussa Sissoko was also given a rare start.
The Frenchman hasn’t had the best of times at Tottenham since his arrival in 2016, so you could forgive Spurs fans for being surprised at his performance on Saturday.
For the first time in his Spurs career, he looked composed on the ball and threatening to the opposition, his assist for Lamela’s goal was brilliant too.
Yarmolenko Injury
Before Lamela opened the scoring at the London Stadium, there was bad news for West Ham as Andriy Yarmolenko was forced off with a nasty injury. The Ukranian fell awkwardly and is suspected to have suffered an achilles injury.
It was a double blow for the Hammers as he was actually in a good goalscoring position just yards from a goal.
