Boss buoyed by Diouf duo

Blackburn manager Sam Allardyce believes Mame Diouf and namesake El-Hadji Diouf will play crucial roles in his side's season. Both Dioufs posed problems for Arsenal on Saturday afternoon, with on-loan Manchester United striker Mame Diouf cancelling out Theo Walcott`s opener before Andrey Arshavin snatched a winner. Allardyce said: "Both Dioufs were very lively. One Diouf is doing better than he's done since he's been with us, creating and causing the opposing defence lots of problems. "And we've got another who seems to be able to score a goal. Let's hope he continues like that. He got a little tired towards the end because he hasn't had many starts. But it's encouraging and hopefully he can build on that."
