    Ian Rush?
    Adebayor?

    This is Premier League only. So if you're born before 1970 you're too old. Adebayor no but Anelka is tucked away in 28th spot with 25 goals.

    Of the 3 current players, all 3 had underwhelming seasons for one reason or another.

    Raheem Sterling?

    Chris Sutton for either the 1996 or 1997.

    Edit: I thought it was the year they achieved that feat so 1973.

    Close but 13th on 40 goals.

    3 Rooney 71
    4 1993 60

    I thought Milner might be in there but none of those ages work out.

    The 1996 one must have been the Jan club mover.

    Alli?

    Absolutely no clue on the '78 born one.

    Ah, I thought this was for just the top division rather than the specifically designated Permier League. That would count out the likes of Tony Cottee then.

    Paul Scholes is a notable absence. He could score.

    None of Scholes, Giggs or Beckham were huge scorers though - not compared to Andy Cole who scored 55 in 70 games for Newcastle. Beckham scored 24 by age 23, Scholes less than 10 and Giggs scored 5 in the old Div 1 but still would have missed out on top 10 by a goal if those were included.

    Top EPL scorers with pens removed - in brackets is their actual total - Cole scored just one penalty and Ferdinand zero.

    Shearer 204 (260)
    Cole 186 (187)
    Rooney 185 (208)
    Aguero 157 (184)
    Kane 153 (181)
    Henry 153 (175)
    Ferdinand 149 (149)
    Fowler 147 (163)
    Defoe 147 (162)
    Owen 136 (150)
    Lampard 134 (177)
    van Persie 129 (144)
    Sheringham 126 (147)

    Wow, very quiet here.

    Another night of glory for Real Madrid. 14 now, quite the record. Liverpool dominated the game but a MOTM perf from Courtois denied them the ball in the back of the net.

    2 opportunities for Real and they took both (one disallowed).

    Looks like major stadium mgmt issues, Liverpool fans seemingly the victims of poor Parisian management. Call me skeptical on that one.

    Anyway, 3 cup finals, zero goals scored but 2 victories. Seems Klopp still hasn’t quite got the cup final game plan sorted.

    On the flip side, Ancelotti wins his 4th. Best ever decision to leave Everton for RM?
