Liverpool lord it, Spurs shocked and Barnes bangers – Football Weekly

Join the conversation on Facebook, Twitter and email.

We take a look back at the weekend of football just gone, starting with Newcastle’s 1-0 win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, in which Harry Kane was denied a penalty by both VAR and Mike Dean’s reluctance to check the footage.

Crystal Palace beat Manchester United, who thought they’d rescued a point with a late Daniel James goal, and Arsenal were outclassed at Anfield as Liverpool won 3-1.

We run through the rest of the Premier League, with great goals from Barnes – both Ashley and Harvey, a red card justifiably given at Brighton, but a few lucky escapes elsewhere, and Wolves make it three draws from three.

We round up the Football League, take a look at Scotland, speak to Sid Lowe about the weekend in La Liga, hear from Archie Rhind-Tutt and Nicky Bandini on Germany and Italy, respectively and find out how Lee Cattermole is getting on in the Netherlands.
