Liverpool forward Sadio Mane put in an outstanding performance as the Reds triumphed over Everton in the Merseyside derby last night.
The Senegalese international’s all round game was superb, with assists for Divock Origi and Xherdan Shaqiri, before he got on the scoresheet himself to put the Reds 4-1 up before halftime.
Mane was named man of the match for his display and fans on Twitter have been praising the 27-year-old:

Mane could have had a hat-trick after missing two late chances but it would be hard to fault the winger after putting in such a top drawer performance.
Considering he only had two weeks rest in the summer, the Senegalese ace seems to have limitless energy, and he has now, undoubtedly, become the club’s leading attacker, ahead of Mo Salah.
Mane’s 13 goals and seven assists in 21 appearances for Liverpool have been a vital part of the club’s incredible start to the season.
