This is The Guardian.

Hello and welcome to the Guardian Football Weekly. Liverpool win in Milan against Inter.

They needed a result. Any result and they got it thanks to Alessandro Bastoni.

Pulling Florian Verts his shirt for no reason. Shopper's lie rattled home the penalty and everyone was happy. Apart for perhaps from Mo Salas, sitting alone in fitness first, is it worth it for a gazillion pounds a week from Al-Ali or whoever? Chelsea losing Bergamo, since we asked if anyone should start taking them seriously, they've given us a categoric response. A second comfortable home win for Spurs in a few days. Sounds odd to say it. It was only Slavia Prague, but again Javi Simmons ran the show. Elsewhere wins for Bayern, Basra, Athlete, but none of them totally straightforward. There's Manchester United's 4-1 win at Wolves to discuss from Monday, an EFL roundup, and a non-league player up a ladder trying to fix the floodlights. All that plus your questions. And that's today's Guardian Football Weekly.

And that's kind of, I mean, they played OK, but that's kind of what happened.

Yeah, after the events of the weekend, Liverpool in general and Ernest Lott, I think in particular,

needed at least to not lose this game and winning it sent out a bit of a statement, particularly

as Morsala had been left at home, as he kind of had to be really.

And it wasn't a particularly good game to watch, not that pleasant of the eye,

but it was a very good win for Liverpool.

There's talk over whether the penalty was soft or not.

Bastoni, he tugged Florian versus

shirt. It's a foul.

Some refs give it, some don't.

This one did. And I don't

think they can have any complaints.

Dominic Svoslai stepped up,
