Manchester United bounced back from their disastrous defeat to Liverpool last weekend with a Cristiano Ronaldo inspired victory over Tottenham Hotspur in the capital. Bruno Fernandes was also a key figure in the Red Devils win, but the result appears a damaging one for the prospects of Nuno Espírito Santo.

The Spurs boss was loudly booed for his decision to substitute Lucas Moura during the second half and the poor nature of the home side’s performance led to growing speculation on Sunday evening that the Portuguese could be set to lose his job after just four months at the club.

Another wide range of Portuguese scorers this weekend saw goals in the top flight in England, Italy, Spain and France, with Diogo Jota’s early strike in Liverpool’s 5-0 demolition of Manchester United at Old Trafford the biggest story.

Gonçalo Guedes, Rafael Leão, Gelson Martins and Nani were also among the goals, while Luso players hit the back of the net in Greece, Switzerland, Saudi Arabia, Poland, Armenia, Luxembourg, UAE, Azerbaijan and Lithuania as the goal count exceeded 20.

Valencia 2-2 Mallorca

Gonçalo Guedes was widely considered the best player on the pitch this Saturday evening as Valencia staged a remarkable comeback to salvage a point against Mallorca at the Mestalla.

The Portugal man produced the vital moment of the match, scoring a superb long-range goal in injury time to half Los Ches’ deficit, after which Valencia snatched an unlikely draw through defender José Gayà.

When Legia Warsaw’s in-house media sat down for an interview with Portugal international Josué earlier this week, the Polish outlet were no doubt unaware of the depth of conversation ahead with the former Porto man.

In a fascinating and honest discussion, Josué spoke about a difficult childhood which still has a residual impact, his struggles with outside perception and how his wife and daughter changed his life. Josué also emphasised the influence of Paulo Fonseca on his football journey, stemming from their time together at Paços de Ferreira.
