As a new feature this year, we will take you through all the moments that you missed but the cameras caught from each game week.
This week there were some embarrassing moments for some, including Klopp and his celebration but also some Premier League firsts, with the first female pundit on Sky Sports Super Sunday.
Scroll through the article and check out what you missed.
Matt Richie’s Anger
After creating his side’s goal in the first half, Matt Richie was absolutely fuming when Rafa Benitez substituted him in the second.
With Newcastle 2-1 down at home to Spurs, he would have backed himself to help his side in the closing stages salvage something. This still of the moment he sat on the bench gave him an almost Gordon Ramsay resemblance.
Tottenham’s 1cm goal
VAR might not be in use in the Premier League this season, but Spurs will be thankful that Goal line technology is.
When Jan Vertonghen headed towards goal, everyone at St. James’ Park and at home believed Martin Dubravka had made an incredible save.
However, the technology showed that Vertonghen’s effort had indeed crossed the line by 9mm, allowing referee Marton Atkinson to award the goal.
Jagielka’s Tackle And Tweet
In the first Saturday evening game of the season, newly promoted Wolves hosted Everton in a fiery encounter.
With the Toffees 1-0 up, the home side were given a lifeline when Phil Jagielka made a heavy touch before making a last ditch tackle on Diogo Jota.
Although it seemed Jagielka got the ball first, it was clear he was out of control and did catch Jota who would have been through on goal.
The Everton defender then took to Instagram to express his thoughts:
“Well done boys for a battling performance! Congrats to @richarlison for ⚽️⚽️ on your debut 💙. As for me I had a bad touch then tried to make up for it with a honest strong tackle, in my eyes I made a good attempt to get the ball (which i did) and I also can see I got player after. Gutted to be sent off but proud of the performance of the boys!”
Klopp’s Weird Celebration
There was a lot of expectation at Anfield in the early kick-off when Liverpool took on West Ham and the Reds truly delivered.
What was unexpected was manager Jurgen Klopp’s celebration when his side went 2-0 up late in the first half.
The positioning of his ‘double fist pump’ was suspect to say the least.
Salah Mobbed
Alot of that expectation at Anfield was on Mo Salah, would he continue where he left off last season?
After scoring the opener, chants of ‘Mo Salah, Mo Salah, running down the wing’ were heard in the stands.
One fan couldn’t contain himself as he ran on the pitch midway through the half to get a hug from the Egyptian.
New Technology On Sidelines
Finally at Anfield, Jurgen Klopp was making use of the relaxed rule on using smartphones or tablets on the sidelines.
It is elieved one of his coaches was monitoring individual player performances, including heart rates and fatigue.
Gascoigne Drunk On SoccerAm?
Before the action start on the Saturday, Sky Sports’ SoccerAm returned with their usual antics and a huge guest star in Paul Gascoigne.
After conducting his first interview, Gazza went missing from the rest of the broadcast, with many claiming he was drunk on set.
The former England international took to Twitter later that day to blame ‘new sleeping pills’ for his early exit.
Pogba And Sanchez Row
It all kicked off on Friday, literally and theoretically at Old Trafford as Man United entertained Leicester City.
When United were awarded a penalty in the 3rd minute, Alexis Sanchez was desperate to take it having won it in the first place.
But captain Paul Pogba had other ideas, what followed was a heated but restrained conversation, which resulted on Pogba taking the ball to the spot and luckily for him, scoring.
Alex Scott On Super Sunday
For the first time ever, a woman sat in as a pundit on Sky Sports’ Super Sunday coverage.
Alex Scott, who impressed many during the BBC’s World Cup coverage in the summer, joined Jamie Carragher and Phil Souness on the panel, making her first ever appearance.
We hope that this is Scott’s first of many.
Coin Thrown At Ryan Fraser
After scoring his side’s opener, Bournemouth’s Ryan Fraser was ‘paid’ by Cardiff City supporters after a fan threw two coins at him later on in the match.
Fair play to Fraser who simply picked up the coins and got on with the game. The FA are officially looking into the incident.
