The Liverpool victory lap
Liverpool fans celebrate keeping Gakpo as a statement of power, crediting Van Dijk with talking him into staying and declaring the window won.
The Arsenal despair
Arsenal accounts call the winger hunt depressing, with the biggest thread of the day mourning a window that ended with no answer at the position.
