The forward took a long ball down with ease before turning Manuel Neuer inside out and slotting home to put the Reds in front. His technique was praised by the BT Sport pundits at half time, but it was former Liverpool striker Michael Owen who noticed something else about the goal that was missed first time around. "Everything that was good about this goal was Mane. He pulls really wide to give himself as much space as possible to run into," said Owen on BT Sport. "It is a goal of the highest quality, and even that awareness of what is around and that little coolness to dink it over, it is a goal of the highest quality."
