We look at the social media fall out from Sunday’s 1-1 draw between Manchester United and Liverpool, while Jamie Vardy had the last laugh and there’s a golazo in Serie A to deny AC Milan, 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…
Ox left hanging
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain was reportedly being hounded by a fans at old Trafford while he was warming up.
After the match he was seen to go over to the same fans and offered them a fist bump, which one of them took him up on, before leaving him hanging.
Ox saw the funny side though…
@ManUtd fans gave Liverpool's Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain plenty of lip as he warmed up on the sidelines.
He offered them a fist-bump after the game…they were having none of it!

Filthy from Gylfi!
Gylfi Sigurdsson struck from distance in stoppage time as the Toffees ended a run of four successive Premier League defeats to ease the pressure on beleaguered boss Marco Silva on Saturday. Some goal it was too.
OHHH Gylfi Sigurdsson!
What a goal!!
A majestic finish to top off an excellent Everton display!

Major malfunction?
Absolute scenes at Spurs as whistler Chris Kavanagh blew for a Tottenham equaliser despite the VAR board clearly stating ‘No goal’. The company in charge of the technology later apologised for the incorrect graphic, and for sending Phil Thompson into meltdown.

Vardy has the last laugh
Jamie Vardy used Burnley fans uncouth taunts about his missus as fuel and had the last laugh after scoring against the Clarets in a 2-1 win at the King Power on Saturday.
Burnley fans during their game against Leicester yesterday: "Jamie Vardy, your wife is a grass!"
Leicester won the game 2-1 and Jamie Vardy scored the equaliser

Juv seen them given
Juventus march on in Italy after toughing out another victory over the weekend, but were lucky not to concede a penalty late doors against Bologna. The smirk on Matthijs de Ligt’s face said it all!
Juve just about hang on to seal a 2-1 win against Bologna!
The away team hit the bar AND forced a great save from Gigi Buffon at the death
Should Bologna also have had a penalty for this De Ligt hand ball, though? pic.twitter.com/tIf14A7twU

Once a Red always a Red
Club loyalties still clearly run deep for Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher, and we rather enjoyed watching their reactions to both goals in Sunday’s 1-1 draw at Old Trafford.
The spoils are shared at Old Trafford!
Who will be the happier between @GNev2 and @Carra23?

Telling it like it is
Bill Shankly’s mantra was that football was a simple game complicated by fools. And Roy Keane seems to agree…
"Go and get Kane from Spurs, it's easy. What are you all staring at?"
Roy Keane's simple answer to #MUFC's striker situation was to go and sign Harry Kane.

Bad table manners from Jose?
It was all happening round that table post-match on Sunday as Jose Mourinho took a bizarre swipe at Jurgen Klopp.
"I feel he didn't like the menu. He likes meat, and he got fish."
Did Ole Gunnar Solskjaer get his tactics right at Old Trafford?

Golazo
If you are going to score an injury-time leveller to deny European giants AC Milan all three points, you may as well make it a good ‘un.
CALDERONI WITH A ROCKET!

On this Day
On a wet and drab weekend 23 years ago Philippe Albert wrote himself into Geordie folklore with THAT audacious chip over Peter Schmeichel. And Didn’t Martin Tyler enjoy it?
23 years ago today Martin Tyler has a goalgasm in the commentary box thanks to this man…
