Liverpool recorded a comprehensive 2-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield courtesy of a Sadio Mane masterclass. The win helped Liverpool break into the top 4 of the Premier League once again and the Reds will stay there until Manchester City play later this week.

Mane returned to the starting line-up for Liverpool for the first-time ever since he went away on national duty with Senegal for the Africa Cup of Nations and his impact was almost instantaneous as he scored a brace within 3 first-half minutes to help his side gain an unassailable 2-0 lead. The former Southampton man should have had a 3rd but was denied by Hugo Lloris.

Manchester United – who had won earlier in the day against Watford to move to 5th in the league table – have dropped back again to 6th position and Twitter couldn’t help but troll the Red Devils.

Here are the best tweets following Liverpool’s 2-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur:

Machester United and 6th place – what a love story!

The legend that Mignolet is!

Spurs being Spurs!
