Marcus Rashford can run fast. Tottenham’s ‘Sonaldo’ scored a brilliant sol goal, Luis Suarez scored “the best goal of my career” and Christian Pulisic humiliated by the referee, 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…
Beep, Beep.

Golazo
What about this then? Let’s have it right if Lionel Messi scores this Son goal it would be the feature of a two hour documentary on Netflix. Absolute scenes in north London.
Jose Mourinho apparently calls him ‘Sonaldo Nazario’.

Wan of the greats?
We are not sure about the statement that Aaron Wan Bissaka is the best right-back in world football right now but there’s no denying he had Raheem Sterling in his pocket for much of Saturday’s Manchester derby. A spectacular performance from the young United defender.

Heavy is the head that wears the crown
Was this an admission from Pep that the title is now beyond his Manchester City side? It would surely take a wobble of epic proportions from Liverpool from here to surrender their lead at the top of the table with the Citizens fully 14 points in arrears.
"Maybe next season will be better"
Does Pep think the title race is already over? pic.twitter.com/fFx0SQdjWn

Over the hill? You must be Joaquin!

Brilliant Bruce calling the Toon
Another weekend, another big win for Newcastle. Steve Bruce, who was once memorably described as looking like a ‘dinner lady who has enjoyed a decent MMA career’, continues to confound his critics as the Magpies – who’ve won four of their last six – keep on soaring.
7 home games unbeaten
4 wins in their last 6
Into the top half

The Great Wall
Unbelievable

On this Day
They’ve enjoyed some lean years since but no Pompey fan will ever forget this screamer from Matt Taylor 13 years ago today! Pick. That. Out.
13 years ago today Pompey’s Matty Taylor got the ball 45 yards from goal and said: “Fuck this, I’m having a dig from here…”
