Three things we learned from Roma v Liverpool
- May 04, 2018
Make no mistake, Liverpool did enough to deserve the win (even if Jurgen Klopp even admitted the Reds were lucky ). Due to large squad number, it appears the move to either select Isco or leave him out could have major repercussions. Roma midfielder Nainggolan played a suicidal square ball that was pounced on by Roberto Firmino , who drove forward and played it through to Mane who buried his left-footed finish past Roma's Brazilian keeper Alisson.

Jets waive Bryce Petty, get down to four QBs on roster

Haye punts on Betfair ahead of Bellew clash
- May 03, 2018
Looking back over the week you can see why Bellew was going to give it one final shot. Exchange and multiple bets excluded.
