We’ve picked out some of the best tweets from Football Twitter that we could find from the past week.
Neal Maupay made the questionable decision to mimic James Maddison’s celebration just 15 minutes into Spurs vs Brentford.
James Maddison wasn't happy after Neal Maupay and Ivan Toney copied his celebration 🎯🤬

The French wind-up merchant was made to look a bit foolish before long.
WHAT A TURNAROUND! 🤯
73 seconds after Destiny Udogie's leveller, Timo Werner sets up Brennan Johnson to give Spurs the lead 🔥

Of course, he couldn’t resist getting in the last word, even if his grammar wasn’t up to scratch.

A bit too well for the liking of one of his teammates, probably.

Ange Postecoglou on the verge of doing the impossible at Spurs.
Postecoglou has the chance to do something no Tottenham manager has done since the 2018-19 season.
Manage all 38 PL games.

There’s only so much self-inflicted pain one man can take.
Xavi is actually right here. Barcelona are the only team in Europe that flew all the way to Dallas to put their players through a pointless friendly game one day after playing in LaLiga. https://t.co/pGkjxJcFy9

Poor Mali were knocked out of the tournament by Cote d’Ivoire in the 120th minute of their quarter-final tie.
On the flip side, DR Congo fans show what it means to reach the last four.

One of many reasons AFCON is such a fascinating competition.
Reminder:
No AFCON defending champion has qualified for the quarterfinals of the next edition since Egypt in 2010.
2021 Algeria (group stage)
2019 Cameroon (R16)
2017 Côte d’Ivoire (group stage)
2015 Nigeria (didn’t qualify)
2013 Zambia (group stage)
2012 Egypt (didn’t qualify) pic.twitter.com/cY5xkUPUit— Usher Komugisha (@UsherKomugisha) January 29, 2024
That feeling when you’re an Everton fan.
Yeah, I can see the entire pitch from my seat. https://t.co/ugIIkGtxpT

Darin Nunez lives in ignorant bliss.
Do you reckon they’ve told Darwin Nunez about the Klopp news yet or are they just letting him eat his 6th packet of crayons in peace

What did Bernardo Silva ever do to them?!
"A light bit of bullying before kick-off"
Bernardo Silva doesn't deserve that sort of treatment 😅
