Aaron Ramsdale proved any doubters wrong
On Halloween weekend, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer put some demons to rest, Brighton came back to haunt Liverpool again and the whole of the North East football community had a nightmare.

2. Putting your neck on the line
Personally, we think this tribute to Match of the Day presenters Ian Wright and Gary Lineker is quite nice.

3. El Sackico
There had been a lot of speculation last week about the future of Solskjaer's job at Manchester United after his team were humiliated 5-0 at home to Liverpool. One name that kept cropping up as a potential successor was Antonio Conte.
On Saturday, against Tottenham Hotspur, Solskjaer made a significant change to three at the back - a style utilised successfully by none other than Conte while at Chelsea. It paid dividends.

You can't win anything with kids, hey?
For Tottenham, on the other hand, this loss was the last straw. It was announced today that Nuno Espirito Santo had been sacked by the club after just four months in charge.
Spurs have lost five of their past seven league matches.
4. Derby incoming
We're set for an all-London Women's FA Cup final, as both Chelsea and Arsenal progressed in their semi-final matches.
Chelsea beat Manchester City 3-0 on Saturday, before Arsenal went on to defeat Brighton 3-0 on Sunday.
5. Queen of the North (London)
One surprising omission from the Arsenal team-sheet on Saturday was all-time leading Women's Super League goal-scorer, Vivianne Miedema. She was given a rest after the international break.

6. Potter has Klopp in his spell
After beating Liverpool at Anfield last season, Graham Potter's Brighton side once again frustrated Liverpool at home on Saturday.
Klopp had been full of praise for the English manager before kick-off and Potter showed why, with a strong performance to come back from 2-0 down and draw the game.
Brighton were a bag of tricks
Any Liverpool fan with dreams of winning the league this year will not want to see this statistic.

At 40 years old, Zlatan scored his 400th league goal on Sunday and also won a penalty as AC Milan narrowly beat Roma in Serie A. Being the man that he is, he was also booked for taunting the opposition fans during the match.
One is a constant source of bombastic opinions and controversy. The other is Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
