Saturday Sundae: Morgan Amalfitano leads a merry dance at Old Trafford


• Morgan Amalfitano lays it on thick against Manchester United

• Leyton Orient fall just short of making it nine wins out of nine


MAN OF THE DAY


West Brom's Saido Berahino. If you're going to score your first ever Premier League goal somewhere, it may as well be the winner at Old Trafford.


SHOWBOAT OF THE DAY


Team-mate Morgan Amalfitano's Roy of the Rovers effort which opened the scoring – waltzing, nutmegging and chipping.


FACT OF THE DAY


The two top-flight Manchester clubs lost on the same day for the first time since 13 September 2008, 1,841 days ago.


HUDDLE OF THE DAY


31 (really) cameramen jostled for position in front of the benches at White Hart Lane in an effort to capture José Mourinho meeting AVB, in what was officially the most important handshake since Suárezgate. Which itself was the most important handshake since Terrygate.


ANTICLIMAX OF THE DAY


Shinji Kagawa finally made the Premier League start that the Old Trafford faithful have been craving. The result? Hooked off at half-time for the teenager Adnan Janujaz.


CONCENTRATION OF THE DAY


Crystal Palace proving that sides are always at their most vulnerable after conceding, by conceding again, 1min 57sec later.


CHOKE OF THE DAY


Chasing their ninth league win out of nine, Leyton Orient were a goal up, and a man up, at home to mid-table Walsall. They drew 1-1.


THUMPING OF THE DAY


Heavy favourites, maybe, but a hat tip nonetheless to Rangers, who added an old school mauling to Five Live's classified check on Charlotte Green's debut – an 8-0 dismantling of Stenhousemuir.
