It was a weekend full of blockbusters in the Premier League, while a certain Spanish starlet scored possibly the goal of the year, and in Italy, the Old Lady begun their inevitable descent up the Serie A table.
Here are all the stories that mattered from the week that was in football. (In 140 characters or less)

Across the water to Spain, and we all saw THAT goal from Marco Asensio, but who doesn't watch it again? And again? And again, and again, and again
