We saw some very interesting football boots this weekend, as our eagle-eyed SoccerBible boot spotters found some players changing their football boots, some brand new football boots on show and some football boots that just continue to impress...

DAVID N'GOG
adidas F50i football boots
David N'Gog came off the bench to secure a crucial victory for Liverpool against Manchester United. Scoring deep into added time, N'Gog broke free and latched onto a through ball before calmly finishing into the back of the net. Interestingly N'Gog changed from wearing adidas adiPure football boots into the adidas F50i, and we're guessing after scoring against United he'll be sticking with his new boots.

ALESSANDRO DIAMANTI
Nike CTR360 Maestri football boots
Diamanti changed the game for West Ham against Arsenal. The confident Italian forward came on to strike the freekick which led to West Ham's first goal, and then scored the equalising penalty. Diamanti is just one of a growing army of players switching into the Nike CTR360 football boots, having previously worn Diadora football boots.

PAUL ROBINSON
Under Armour Dominate football boots
Paul Robinson sported the latest Under Armour Dominate colourway against Chelsea, and despite conceding five goals can be pleased with his performance. Chelsea were at the top of their game and the scoreline could have been more, but Robinson showed some of the form that earned him the England goalkeepers jersey. And he wasn't the only player to sport the new Dominate colourway, as they were also sported by Bobby Zamora of Fulham.

JOLEON LESCOTT
Nike Tiempo Legend III football boots
Lescott was in the right place at the right time to steer Adebayor's shot over the line. The Manchester City defender, whose goal contribution throughout a season can be invaluable, has previously worn Nike Laser football boots but changed into the Nike Legend III football boots the same as colleague Carlos Tevez.

WAYNE ROUTLEDGE
adidas F50i football boots
QPR's trip to Derby County was broadcast live on the BBC, which is why many boot spotters noticed Wayne Routledge wearing the new Macaw/Black adidas F50i football boots, but our Boot Spy can tell you when the Macaw/Black football boots were first debuted. Whether or not adidas meant for a player to wear their new boots, they can't deny Routledge gave them an impressive debut as he was constantly on the move, constantly skilful and contributed to QPR's goals.

MICHAEL ESSIEN
Nike T90 Laser II football boots
If you wanted to advertise a boot's attributes, then you couldn't get more perfect than Micheal Essien's shot against Blackburn. Essien picked the ball up from 35 yards out took one look at goal and smashed the ball from the ShotShield of his Nike Laser football boots, and just watched as the ball swerved and powered into the back of the net!

HUGO RODALLEGA
Umbro football boots
This season we are seeing what Hugo Rodallega is all about, and so far it has been impressive. The Colombian player was an unknown quantity when Wigan invested in him, but two goals against Burnley demonstrated what a good shot he has. Rodallega also got the forums going, because he has previously worn Nike Vapor football boots, but surprised everyone by wearing a pair of Umbro football boots.

JAMES MILNER
Nike CTR360 Maestri football boots
You may have noticed the growing number of Premier League players wearing red and black football boots, as the Nike CTR360 football boots take the league by storm! Nike offered the boots out to players at training grounds, and if they liked them it would be their choice to wear them. James Milner is one of these players, and he is really staking his claim for a place in the World Cup squad after another great performance for Villa.
