Roberto Firmino’s outrageous piece of skill had everyone purring, why the writing was on the wall for Man Utd against Crystal Palace and a look back at Sergio Aguero’s first goal in professional football – all in Social Shots.
In our weekly feature, we take a look at the best social media posts from across the world of football over the weekend. Football and social media can go hand in hand, but not everyone gets it right. Here, we celebrate those that do, highlighting the posts that have made us chuckle, the videos of wonder goals that we’ve just had to watch again, or just anything we felt simply had to be shared….
The Dog Days are over
It was International Dog Day over the Bank Holiday weekend and you may not see a better save all season than the one this little rascal pulled out the bag!
Good boy makes stunning goal-line save

A case for the defence
We thought Andros Townsend stepping in to defend Ashley Young after Palace’s Twitter account mocked United full-back’s defending was impressive. Touché Andros!

Tammy Abraham has been with Chelsea since Under-8s level and finally got his first goals for the senior side at the weekend, proving there is a place in the Premier League for young English attacking talent. 
Abraham at the double!

400 Club
Sergio Aguero reached 400 career goals after scoring against Bournemouth. We think you’ll agree his first wasn’t bad either.

The inimitable Roberto Firmino sent Senor Ceballos for a chicken sandwich with this outrageous piece of skill. Calm down Bobby, this isn’t FIFA!

Golazo
Sweet baby Jesus! Harvey Barnes’ spectacular second-half thunderbolt saw Leicester to victory over Sheffield United and gave them a first win of the season.

Over-confidence kills!
We think it was Shakespeare who said ‘Beware of over-confidence; especially in matters relating to Manchester United at home when 4/11 on’.
Full time: Man Utd 1-2 Crystal Palace
So this didn't age well then

Super Salah is Mr Consistent
Poetry in motion. 57 goals now and 20 assists. That’s Mohamed Salah for Liverpool in the Premier League. Not bad for a “one season wonder” is it?
Sensational from Salah!
The Liverpool man leaves David Luiz in his wake on the way to a fantastic solo goal!

Download the Reid all about it
At the same time Liverpool were putting some manners on Arsenal on Saturday night, further down the footballing pyramid James Reid was doing this for Torquay. Remember the name….
Great turn. Great touch. Great finish!

Just give him the Ballon d’Or already
It was obviously not the result Norwich would have wanted but the Premier League’s newest and most unlikely hero is still on fire. He may look like he works in Halfords, but Teemu Pukki just can’t stop scoring. He has scored more goals than any other player in Europe’s top five leagues this season.
3⃣ games, 5⃣ goals
The party isn't stopping yet

#OTD
Before he was a Sky Sports pundit Tony Cottee was a rather decent footballer and on this day in 1988 he had Goodison Park bouncing after scoring a treble on debut against Newcastle United.
