Liverpool 5-2 Everton: 5 Hits and Flops | Premier League 2019-20

#1 Hit: Sadio Mane

Mane has a goal and two assists, but could have easily had a hat-trick vs. Everton on this occasion

Simply superb. Liverpool's best player and on this occasion, Mane proved precisely why: two perfectly-weighted assists and a well-taken goal of his own to boot, creating havoc aplenty for Everton's backline throughout - it's scary to know he should have done more!

On an evening where Mohamed Salah was unused and Roberto Firmino was a second-half substitute, Mane led by example from minute one. He fired a well-taken finish from distance into the bottom corner, finishing a devastating counter-attack before half-time, but couldn't replicate the same ruthlessness deep into the second-half against tired legs.

The first, he fired narrowly wide of Pickford's near post from close-range. As for the second, he sped through and flicked the ball beyond the goalkeeper before being thwarted unceremoniously by Mason Holgate's last-ditch recovery tackle while shaping to shoot at a narrow angle.

With 14 goals and seven assists this term, Sadio continues to prove he's an indispensable figure in the Reds' title tilt while displaying there's more to his game than just goals - creating assists than Kevin de Bruyne and Mesut Özil would be proud of.
