Episode 1504: The Rafalution Is Over, Wan-Bissaka Stats, Silva Triggers, Long Range Wayne, No Salah

Wayne Rooney and Mo Salah both scored great goals for their respective teams last night – but only one went on to tweet up a ruckus.

We speak to Mark Douglas of the Newcastle Chronicle about Newcastle’s failure to agree a new contract with Rafael Benitez. Why could a deal not be done with the most-respected manager of the Mike Ashley era? And what is the club going to do now?
