It’s fair to say that Mamadou Sakho turned in one of his best-ever performances in a Liverpool shirt at Old Trafford on Thursday night.
He was a man mountain at the back – we gave him a well-deserved 9/10 in our post-match player ratings. We lost count of the amount of times he won a vital header, made a crucial inception, or whisked the ball away from the feet of an on-rushing Man Utd attacker.
If watching his performance with your own eyes wasn’t enough to convince you of his quality – allow us to present his Tweet from Squawka Football:
