Sadio Mane scores twice as Liverpool came from behind to beat Newcastle United 3-1 in a Premier League encounter Anfield on Saturday.

The Reds found themselves trailing after seven minutes of play thanks to Jetro Willems’ strike after receiving a long ball from Christian Atsu as the Brazilain star who then cuts into his right to fire an unstoppable shot past Adrian and stun the Anfield crowd.The goal brought Liverpool to life and they almost hit back instantly through Oxlade Chamberlain, but his shot was just wide off the post before Mane level it up for the home side with a fine finish where he received a ball from Andy Robertson, the Senegalese international cuts into his right to fire into the top corner.With Anfield now alive after that equaliser, Liverpool pushed forward as they search for the lead and almost did, but Emil Krafth was able to clear a dangerous ball from Joel Matip.The Reds suffered a minor setback as Divock Origi was taken off with a suspected hamstring. But it turned out to be a blessing for Liverpool, as his replacement, Roberto Firmino came on to set up Sadio Mane’s second goal of the day.

But that was as good it gets for the Magpies as Liverpool dominated from that moment onward. A blocked shot from Oxlade Chamberlain fell into the path of Firmino but the Brazilian’s effort was once again saved by Martin Dubravka.However, Liverpool will not be denied as third as Salah also got on the scoresheet. It was Firmino who was the provider again, beating a defender, before setting up Salah for a fine finish.The Reds are now five points clear ahead of Man City who play Norwich later in the day.
