Goal of the game
It was tight, but you voted Anthony Martial's solo effort as goal of the game, with 52% of the vote.
Ridiculous Ronaldo
A goal every two games has always been the benchmark of a decent top-class striker. Get 25 a season and you're flying.
Nobody told Cristiano Ronaldo though. He hit five for Real Madrid in their 6-0 win at Espanyol to eclipse Raul's La Liga club record.
Ronaldo now has 230 league goals in 204 games. Absurd!
Will Paul Scholes make the move from the cosy TV punditry studio to Boundary Park dugout?
I doubt it.
Man Utd 3-1 Liverpool
The joke's on you. Liverpool captain James Milner played the full 90 minutes, he was booked, and he even created two chances.
Football's a fickle beast, and Oldham Athletic became the latest club to make a change this evening when they sacked Darren Kelly after just four months in charge.
Former Sunderland coach Kelly was dismissed following Saturday's 5-1 home defeat by managerless Peterborough.
Oldham are 19th in the early League One table.
Man Utd 3-1 Liverpool
Early days but Everton fans never get bored of seeing their side above Liverpool in the table.
So here you go.
Nobody wins the league after five games but you'd rather have five-point lead than be behind.
Are Manchester City already over the hills and gone?
Yes we are Paul. We certainly are. Get your vote in the Benteke column.

Paul Clark: Are we actually comparing Martial's admittedly well-taken but relatively standard goal to Benteke's wonder-strike?
Ajaya Neupane: Just 13 goals in last 15 matches. You can't just blame Liverpool defence for losing games.
Alex Rich: Not sure I've ever seen such a lack of passion in a Liverpool team. Time's running out Brendan, tick-tock...

Man Utd 3-1 Liverpool
Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal, speaking to Sky Sports: "We played better in the first half. We had far more control, but we didn't create much, that is why I changed Memphis - to improve that last pass.
"I am very happy with the first goal because that is what we practised in many training sessions and now it is coming out. The first goal decided the match because they had to come at us, giving us more space and so we could score more.
"The penalty was fantastic and then the goal of Anthony Martial, not a bad goal I think. He did alright. He scored a marvellous goal and physically he can play in the Premier League."
Luis Suarez, the speedboat to Liverpool's Bullseye display tonight, has just rattled the crossbar for Barcelona. It's 0-0 with Atletico Madrid in La Liga, and you can follow that game here.

Quote MessageI don’t think he should play Tuesday, we don’t want to take any risks with our captain but you never know. It’s Saturday and we still have Sunday and Monday.

Man Utd 3-1 Liverpool
Quote MessageWe have scouted him and we wanted him because he’s the best in his age, he needs time. He's been with us for three days, that is too short to judge his personality but he made a very good impression in first three days, that’s why I selected him to be on the bench.

Man Utd 3-1 Liverpool
More from Brendan Rodgers, speaking to Sky Sports: "You are never happy when you lose a game, especially to your rival. The only positive for me is that we had a defeat here last year and we got better.
"The key for us is to initiate a game and create chances, that is something we need to be better at."
Robbie Savage

"I think Liverpool are a side that should finish fourth or fifth. The season when they finished second was, perhaps, something of a fluke.
"Liverpool's fans want good, entertaining football, but they must realise they are not the Liverpool of old. And I can't see them getting back to the top in the next 10 to 15 years."
