They also won the FA Cup that season, unlike Arsenal, 2:C - Arsenal won the league title in Manchester four days after they had beaten Chelsea in the FA Cup final in Cardiff. , 3:G - Farah set a new British record for the marathon in London last Sunday. Steve Jones' record had stood for 33 years., 4:D - Burnley have scored four more league goals than Salah. They're in seventh., 5:C - Mané scored his against Porto in the last-16; Coutinho scored his against Spartak Moscow in December – before he moved to Barcelona and gave up his chance of winning the tournament this season., 6:A - Blackburn won 64% of their league games that season – even better than Sherwood’s famous 59% win percentage while in charge of Tottenham., 7:B - Derbyshire’s 101-run victory over Middlesex was their first home win since September 2014., 8:B - The teams that have won the Championship in the last five seasons., 9:C - In the 1994 final, which Manchester United won 4-0. Mark Hughes and Brian McClair scored the other goals., 10:C - Ronnie O’Sullivan came close last year, when he hit a 146 in the quarter-finals., 11:D - The newly freed rapper, whose imprisonment has drawn widespread criticism from celebrities such as Kevin Hart, Colin Kaepernick and Jay-Z, travelled from the prison to the ball game by helicopter.
