Sadio Mane picks up a brace as Liverpool beat Tottenham 2-0 [Best Tweets]

Sadio Mane fired Liverpool to a 2-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur as the Reds secured an important victory over the North London side. Mane was sorely missed during his absence at the African Cup of Nations and showed exactly why at Anfield last night.

Liverpool desperately needed a win after a poor start to 2017 and were coming into this game and had failed to win in 5 straight games across all competitions. The Reds looked back to their best last night, however, and fully deserved the 3 points.

The result means the Reds have now moved into fourth place only 1 point behind second-placed Tottenham, although City have yet to play their fixture against Bournemouth on Monday night. Reds fans were ecstatic about the win as it might go a long way to securing a Champions League position.

Sadio Mane was the man of the hour and Twitter was abuzz with praise and stats after the Senegalese winger put in a brilliant performance.

Gerginio Wijnaldum also got some well-deserved praise after putting in what was perhaps his best performance for the Reds so far. Wijnaldum’s pass for Mane’s opener was a thing of beauty and many showed their appreciation for the summer signing.

There was also inevitable negativity and laughter surrounding Tottenham’s performance. Spurs looked second best the entire match and never posed a real threat to Liverpool. It was a disappointing result for Pochettino’s side and the trolls were out in force.
