The rivalry between Michigan and Michigan State is a fairly heated one and things really kicked off this weekend when the pair met with logo stomping and tempers running high. As the commentator says at the end – highly entertaining.

There was high drama in the EPL too with the early kickoff between Chelsea and United dishing up plenty of thrills and spills. Ross Barkley’s late equaliser sparked some ugly scenes but that didn’t ruin a fantastic spectacle.
