Summary
After one of the biggest transfers in years, Jimbo, Adam Crafton, Daniel Storey and David Preece bask in a bumper Premier League weekend.
Cristiano Ronaldo is back at Old Trafford. Did United buy him just so City couldn’t? Does he take them closer to the title? Should the money have been spent on a defensive midfielder? And James Horncastle tells us why Juventus won’t miss him.
Liverpool and Chelsea battle to a draw at Anfield as Thomas Tuchel does a great job of calming his players down after Reece James is sent off.
Tottenham are top and Arsenal are bottom after the Gunners are thrashed 5-0 at the Etihad. What is the process and should Arsenal fans trust it?
