Liverpool legend Michael Owen has sensationally accused Sadio Mane of avoiding winning penalties as he doesn't want team-mate Mohamed Salah to score.
The wild claim came shortly after the champions' horror season took another alarming lurch, with Chelsea having edged to a 1-0 victory and inflicted Liverpool's fifth straight loss at Anfield.
Mane and Salah are both jostling to finish at the club's top-scorer this campaign, although the Egyptian superstar boasts 10 more goals to his name, and Owen believes the competition between them has taken on an unsavoury twist.
