Super Sunday Summed Up In 10 Tweets
A screamer of a goal, another red card, a frustrating return for Rooney, and a stodgy game of half chances at The Bridge – it was a Super Sunday of stark contrasts.
Did you miss any of the action? Fret not. Here it all is summed up in 10 tweets…
Chelsea v Arsenal Re-cap
Alexi Sanchez may have recently riled Arsenal fans with his attempted move to Manchester City, but that didn’t stop one die-hard fan bemoaning the Chilean’s exclusion from the Gunners’ starting 11.

However, it looked like Sanchez wasn’t too upset with being left on the bench. ?

With little-to-no action on the pitch, the fans spawned their own entertainment.
Arsenal fans: “Where were you when you were shit?”
Chelsea fans: “Where were you on Thursday night?”#CHEARS pic.twitter.com/bZK09rNN39

And just when we thought there was something to talk about, the linesmen shut the front door. However, it was rather amusing to watch Mustafi celebrate on his Jack Jones…

It wouldn’t be a Super Sunday without David Luiz causing controversy now, would it? Unfortunately for him, he tarnished what was a standout performance with a reckless 87th minute challenge on Kolasinac.
Not sure how anyone can say a straight red for David Luiz on Kolasinac was a harsh decision #CHEARS pic.twitter.com/7myiTLGDJL

Manchester United v Everton Re-cap
It was a day to ‘Roo’ for the Everton PR team, who failed to spot the link between Everton’s sleeve sponsor and Wazza’s latest off-pitch escapades. *Slow clap*
Anyone noticing the irony of Wayne Rooney having ‘Angry Birds’ on his sleeve? #Rooney #maneve #manutd #everton

Valencia got the game off to a bang by pulling a goal straight out the top drawer.

An ageing ‘Paul Scholes’ came to cheer on his former club…

We were reminded why Jesse Lingard isn’t a fan favourite.
Will never forgive Lingard if Martial leaves us because of a lack of game time

And finally, Lukaku showed that he has about as much class as a Nissan Sunny.
