2. Sadio Mane
Sadio Mane gave a torrid time to Cezar Azpilicueta in the first half of the match with his incisive runs through the left flank. He combined beautifully with Andrew Robertson and Naby Keita to trouble the Chelsea defenders a great deal in the first half.
Mane also showed opportunism while scoring the first goal for Liverpool. He positioned himself perfectly before heading in Jordan Henderson’s cross from inside the box.
It was Mane’s 21st goal of the season, and he continues to be a consistent performer for the Reds.
Mane’s dribbling skills also came to the fore yesterday, as he dodged past the Liverpool defenders at times to open up spaces in the final third. He is already said to be a target for Real Madrid, and performances like yesterday might increase his price.
The Senegalese has been a great performer for the Reds this season, and will be crucial in their bid to win the league.
