Sadio Mane has become perhaps the most influential attacker in the Liverpool setup since joining from Southampton last summer.
In the last Merseyside derby, it was Mane who capitalised in stoppage time to hand Liverpool a narrow 1-0 win and at Anfield as well, it was the attacker who opened the scoring for the Reds, with a solid individual run before slotting it across the keeper.
Liverpool ended up beating Everton 3-1 to extend their unbeaten record in Merseyside derbies at Anfield.
