Liverpool fans have heaped praise on Sadio Mane following his vital winner against Aston Villa in the Premier League on Tuesday, May 10.
The 30-year-old's magnificent header in the 65th minute sealed a hard-fought 2-1 victory for the Reds, which saw them go level on points with leaders Manchester City.
Pep Guardiola's side will play their game in hand against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Wednesday night. They also have a better goal difference than Liverpool.
It was a difficult start to the game for the Reds, as Aston Villa took the lead within three minutes thanks to a Douglas Luiz strike, who capitalized on some hapless defending.
Liverpool equalized shortly after through Joel Matip before Mane scored his 22nd goal of the season to seal a vital three points.
The Senegalese international has been mentioned as a potential winner for this year's Ballon d'Or, having already claimed the Africa Cup of Nations in February.
Since the arrival of Luis Diaz in the winter transfer window, Klopp has used Mane as a centre-forward.
Fans of the Merseyside club took to Twitter to express their joy at the attacker's recent form:
Sadio Mane speaks out over transfer rumors following Aston Villa victory
According to Sky Sports, Bayern Munich are reportedly interested in signing Mane, whose Liverpool contract expires next summer.
However, following the victory at Villa Park, the forward claimed he was happy at the club and told Sky Sports, as quoted by The Liverpool Echo:
"Yeah, I am happy here, I think when we win trophies I am happier! But I think I am trying to enjoy every moment, trying to assist my team mates and I think the boys make it a lot easier for me, and I am very happy."
Mane's teammate and club captain Jordan Henderson lavished the Senegal international with praise after the game, saying:

yes he is but sometimes too selfish costing the team to drop points
I don't really like his decision making on field most times

you are still blinded by Salah's past performances, what happened to him in nation's cup final & world cup Qualification? what's the use of a player without consistency in both club & country, even against Spurs he underperformed costing us 3points, I pray he leaves Lfc and we sign Nunez or NKUNKU
Thank God you recognize salah record n u know mane just started performing with few goals n if is not Diaz reignite mane career. Mane is a waste on the left wing. So poor he can’t even dribble any right back

Remove Salah's penalty goals, the he is two goals ahead of Mane, remove CR7's penalty goals then he is equal to Mane. Only Son Heung Min will remain with 20 impressive non penalty goals. It's not wrong to scrore from the spot but all am trying to say is Mane is a bit underrated.
Mane have been an all round player compared to Salah, that's why Mane is is making it happen for Club & Country right now compared to his colleague Salah

below salah?! even when Salah cost us against Tottenham, he was so selfish on 4 occasions that he couldn't pass to Diaz & Mane to win the Game, pls he's even not in form now, I guess Mane is far more an all round player to him

Hendo is a holding MF, a real leader and really is important in linking up different depts of the team. He can stable the team and control the speed. His function is to turn defend to attract. To me, the current best combination of the MF are Hendoo; Thiago, who is more involve in attack, can shot and produce killer passes to other strikers; and Fabinho, who is more on defend, making important block and turning the rhythm of the game. Their work rate are amongst the highest in the world, really hope that they will injury free and speedy strength recover. 👍👍👍
Yep, Hendo is the captain too. He let's you know if you are not pulling your weight but he is 60mins max. New midfielder(s) coming in the summer. The system will be fortified.
