(Video) Sadio Mane finishes off fantastic Liverpool move to open the scoring against West Brom

Posted by

Sadio Mane puts Liverpool one up against West Brom with a goal that typifies everything good about Liverpool’s attacking play this season.

The former Southampton star is able to cap off a superb passing move in the 21st minute with a close range volley after Roberto Firmino’s cross found him in space at the back post.

The goal came after an inspired Philippe Coutinho dummy saw Emre Can pick up the ball in the final third before releasing Firmino, who went on to provide Mane with the assist.

Liverpool didn’t take long to break down a tough West Brom defence and will be looking for more, knowing that a win by two goals or more will take them to the top of the league.

It has been a typically explosive attacking display from the home side so far, with their opponents looking unable to come up with anything to really trouble Loris Karius in the Liverpool goal.

Great start, Reds.
