Troy Deeney was left stunned after witnessing the 'weirdest thing he's ever seen' after covering a Premier League match.
The Premier League resumed this weekend, with more fixtures scheduled to take place on Sunday.
Today's action will follow what happened yesterday as Arsenal ramped up the pressure on Liverpool by beating Leicester City 2-0.
Elsewhere, Manchester City smashed Newcastle United 4-0 while Fulham beat Nottingham Forest 3-1.
And Bournemouth continued their fine form with a 3-1 win at Southampton.

Justin Kluivert, who is enjoying a stunning campaign, set up Ryan Christie for his side's second goal against the Saints.
Former Premier League forward Deeney covered the St Mary's clash for talkSPORT and he was nearly rendered speechless by what Kluivert did during Saturday's game.
He was left baffled after seeing the Bournemouth star hand his shirt to a Southampton fan at HALF-TIME.
"[Bournemouth] haven't even got to a point yet where it feels like they're about to take the handbrake off," he said.

"They're experimenting that for any little ball around the corner and a one-two, they're in. And Southampton cannot keep up making these last-ditch tackles.
"I've counted five so far on my notes where it's a last-ditch tackle. If they get that wrong either, they're going through on goal 1v1 Bournemouth. Otherwise, a player's being sent off. And it just cannot happen the way that it is."
Deeney added: "So to sum it up and put it all into a nice ribbon, we've just seen Kluivert, a Bournemouth player, go and give his shirt to a Southampton fan at half-time.

"And everyone was cheering.
"It's one of the weirdest games of football I've ever been at in my life. I think that's what you would call, Adrian, a heads-gone."
Adrian Durham responded: "That's exactly what I was thinking as Troy was describing it.
"I can't believe what I've just heard. That's literally unbelievable. Amazing."

In a fresh, new shirt, Kluivert and Co. went onto beat Southampton 3-1 to climb into fifth place in the table.
