Liverpool, Mané Storm Out the Gates With Two Lightning-Quick Goals Against Tottenham

Things are far from over—at the half—but Anfield are certainly fired up for this one.

Sadio Mané may as well be a one-man team right now, as he holds Liverpool's two tallies against second-place Tottenham. With a tight race to claim at least second place, those two goals might be all the difference in the world.

Mané came off the blocks with a voracious appetite for the net, as he found an opening in the 16th minute—above—taking advantage of a beautiful pass laid right at his feet. He tore behind the Spurs' loose back line with pace, gave the keeper a feint, and managed to tuck his foot under the ball for a chip—before he fully fell to the ground.

His second effort, below, was less of a solo act than a successful scrap after a team effort to drill Tottenham's Hugo Lloris. He found himself on the third shot, positioned for a clean volley, which he rocketed into the back of the net.
