Easter was celebrated in Christian countries across the world this weekend and football added much to the festivities with some ripsnorting matches and wonderful moments of skill.
Liverpool and Arsenal’s 2-2 draw was arguably the best match of the Premier League season to date, while both Manchester City and Manchester United secured crucial victories.
It was also a landmark weekend for Son Heung-min and there was plenty of entertaining moments from the lower leagues and across Europe too.
We’ve collated 19 moments from the last few days that made us smile.
Jadon Sancho
It’s good to see Sancho shining again.
