## Resource

AFCON kicked off in Rabat, as Morocco opened with a 2-0 over Comoros in a game that featured an incredible overhead from Ayoub El Kaabi. Musa and Ryan begin there, before chatting about Kylian Mbappé, who equalled Cristiano Ronaldo’s Real Madrid record for goals in a calendar year (05:28), as well as how impressive his time at the Bernabéu has been, despite getting off to a tricky start.  Next up, it’s Leeds’ turn to get the props (18:32), after another great result, this time to Crystal Palace, that sees a great run from Daniel Farke’s side continue. There’s chat about the rest of the Premier League, including Aston Villa’s win over Manchester United (24:07), wins for the top two, Liverpool’s win at Spurs (33:37) and much more!
