Salah, Mane & Firmino Breaks Madrid's BBC Record

   Sadio Mane's early goal to break the deadlock against Roma saw the Liverpool star write his name into the Champions League record books, alongside his two striking partners in crime.
 Mane needed less than 10 minutes to open the scoring in the Stadio Olimpico, as Liverpool's bid to defend the 5-2 lead picked up in the first leg got off to a perfect start.

Mane Firmino and Salah

    After Radja Nainggolan's horrendous pass was picked up, the striker was fed in by Roberto Firmino and finished in emphatic fashion past Alisson.
 The goal put Liverpool 6-2 ahead on aggregate, with Georginio Wijnaldum later restoring the four-goal advantage following James Milner's own goal.

   The trio of Mane, Mohamed Salah and Firmino have now hit no less than 29 goals in this year's Champions League.
Salah and Firmino have contributed 10 each, with Mane chipping in with nine more.

  That is more than any other forward trident has ever managed in a single campaign, breaking the record previously held by Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema that was set in 2013-14.

Arsenal have lost the Premier League title – Allardyce

                                 Sunderland manager Sam Allardyce has slammed Arsene Wenger, saying Arsenal have blown their best chance of ending their Premier League title drought. The Gunners chances of winning a first league title since 2004 were dealt a severe blow with their 3-3 draw against West Ham on Saturday. Wenger’s men are therefore now 10 points adrift of surprise leaders Leicester City, who can extend their lead when they play relegation-threatened Sunderland on Sunday. And Allardyce reminded Wenger of just how big a chance Arsenal have let slip this season. “They won’t get a better time to win the league than this season,” he told reporters. “A normal season would have seen Leicester, having the season they’ve had, maybe finishing in the top four, which would have been miraculous. “But they’ve had an opportunity that, without any doubt, Arsenal have missed. Leicester have taken it and Arsenal have lost it. “We were all saying, ‘What a chance for Ars
