Ryan, Taylor and Graham are here to take a look back at the biggest games of the weekend!

West Ham vs. Arsenal: The Hammers scored five goals in this London rivalry—but somehow didn’t win! We look at how West Ham faltered and why Arsenal were able to bounce back from 3-0 down. 

Leicester vs. Manchester Utd: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer doesn’t need to worry about the FA Cup anymore, but he might worry about his defensive midfield options…

Lyon vs. PSG: The battle for Ligue 1’s top spot saw Kylian Mbappe shine almost as brightly as the Parisian’s kits! 

Celtic vs. Rangers: the Old Firm derby might not have had its usual energy levels, but there was plenty to talk about from the events in Glasgow.

Ryan, Taylor, and Graham team up to dissect this week's Champions League action! 

Manchester City vs. Borussia Monchengladbach - Pep’s side were too strong for Gladbach, whose suffering under soon-to-be-departed coach Marco Rose continues. 

Real Madrid vs. Atalanta - There’ll be no dark horse deep run for the Italians this season, who were ultimately outclassed by Los Blancos (who did something a little different with their formation).

Bayern Munich vs. Lazio - We called this as a mismatch… and we were right! 

Chelsea vs. Atletico Madrid - Thomas Tuchel’s honeymoon period continues in London, where his side showed greater discipline and a better press than Atleti.
