Sunday’s Premier League encounter between Arsenal and Burnley at the Emirates featured damn near everything. With Liverpool, Tottenham, Manchester City and Manchester United all failing to win on Saturday, it was up to the Gunners to keep the pressure on league leaders Chelsea.
PSV Eindhoven stayed within touching distance of Feyenoord and Ajax at the top of the Dutch Eredivisie table thanks to a last-gasp winner from Mexican center back Hector Moreno. Just days after celebrating his 29th birthday, Moreno scored with his knee in the 90th minute to give PSV a 4-3 victory over Heerenveen.

21-year-old winger Yasin Ben El-Mhanni made his Newcastle United debut in the FA Cup on Wednesday, but what made the story truly remarkable was that El-Mhanni was already a household name amongst those who frequently watch football freestyle videos on YouTube.
The Bundesliga returned from its winter break on Friday, and Bayern Munich defeated Freiburg after Robert Lewandowski blatantly cheated to score in the 91st minute.
He trapped the ball with his chest, which wasn’t fair, juggled it, which was a clear foul, and rolled a shot in off the post, which should earn him a lifetime ban. Poor Freiburg, they didn’t deserve to lose, not like this.
How did he do that?
Jurgen Klopp was a happy boy after Liverpool beat Plymouth Argyle 1-0 in Wednesday's FA Cup replay. He was even happier after he got a giant pastry during his post-match press conference, even though his diet forbid him from eating it.
Look at the size of that thing! Even if Jurgen Klopp did eat carbs, he wouldn't be able to finish that thing by himself.
Surely some of the players will be happy to take it off his hands.
Real Madrid’s unbeaten streak was finally ended by Sevilla after the two played each other three times in just 11 days.
Life has not been easy for French defender Mamadou Sakho over the last nine months. Ever since the failed drug test debacle that kept him on the sidelines for over a month last season, the defender has failed to earn his place back in Jurgen Klopp’s team.
Klopp, who had nothing but praise for the 26-year-old center back when he first took over as Liverpool manager, has since gone as far as demoting Sakho to training with the U-23 squad.
Criminally underrated throughout his career, due in large part to having to play behind two of the greatest ever in Xavi and Andres Iniesta for Spain, Santi Cazorla's recognition has only grown in the last two seasons, primarily because of his devastating absence. While many fans were not aware of him when he moved to Arsenal from Malaga in 2012, he has always been a favorite among players and coaches in his native country.
