Then, it’s onto the Premier League, where there was a true game of two halves that saw Spurs and Manchester City play out a 2-2 draw (10:24) and an incredible Dominic Solanke goal, while Aston Villa lost at home to Brentford, who played out the entirety of the second half down to ten.

Arsenal extended their lead at the top, thanks to a very impressive 4-0 win away at Leeds (39:24), Manchester United left it late to keep the good times rolling (46:22) and there’s also a round-up of the rest of the Premier League, plus the Bundesliga, La Liga and much more!

It was the Stadio derby this weekend, with Manchester United beating Arsenal in the league at the Emirates for the first time since 2017.

Musa and Ryan chat about a game that continued the good vibes around Michael Carrick's appointment, following up last week’s Manchester derby victory, thanks to two unbelievable goals from Patrick Dorgu and Matheus Cunha (03:27). They also look at it from the Arsenal perspective, their attacking issues and the differences between the recent league and cup performances.

Senegal are winners of the AFCON for the second time! 

Musa and Ryan begin with one of the most dramatic and astonishing international finals of all-time, which saw Senegal beat hosts Morocco in extra-time in a game that saw incredible drama and an amazing winning goal (03:24).

They then move on to Manchester United’s 2-0 win over City in Saturday’s derby (27:29), as well as Michael Carrick’s appointment as head coach until the end of the season.

A little later than usual, but recorded just before the wild Manchester United v Bournemouth game (sorry!), Musa and Ryan quickly round-up some big results from the weekend around Europe (03:24), including the Premier League, Real Madrid getting back to winning ways, St. Pauli getting their first Bundesliga since September and much more. 

Then it’s onto the trip from this weekend (17:11), where they visited Venezia for their win over Monza and then San Siro for Milan’s draw against Sassuolo. It was the first time that Musa and Ryan had visited both the Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo and San Siro, so they chat about the uniqueness of both, the contrasting surroundings and how overwhelming it can be to visit an iconic stadium for the first time.

There’s some important admin up top about the upcoming Christmas episodes, a Patreon offer and news on our next show at the Southbank Centre!

Musa and Ryan then chat about Mo Salah’s mixed zone comments that followed Liverpool’s 3-3 draw away at Leeds which look like starting the process of him potentially leaving the club (09:07) and is the latest situation in an already very difficult season. 

The Salah situation mean that there isn’t as much chat about the game itself, but there is also praise for Leeds (26:22), as well as Aston Villa’s late win over Arsenal at Villa Park and a quick round-up of some other Premier League games.

There’s also time to shout out some other results from the weekend (36:07), including Hearts' win at Celtic, the MLS Cup, Arab Cup, the WSL, Serie A and La Liga, before some thoughts on the World Cup draw (42:14), which took place on Friday.
