Liverpool 3-1 Newcastle: 5 Talking Points as Jurgen Klopp's Reds register comeback victory | Premier League 2019/20

#1 Sadio Mane’s finishing has improved to an unthinkable extent

Since the turn of the New Year, Sadio Mane has been running riot with his goalscoring adroitness. That is majorly down to his finishing capability, which has swelled like his teammate Mohamed Salah.

When the Reds were looking for their first shot of the evening, Sadio Mane took the chance to perfection and notch up his third goal of the season. It was a tough chance, but his innovation to take the ball away from the goalkeeper Martin Dubravka should be lauded. His interlink through the game was outstanding, by playing through balls to Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah.

He had little to do for the second goal, but he was present at the right time to gain the lead in the first half. When the Magpies showed defensive susceptibility, Mane moved through the left-wing and attack for the rest of the game. Since Andy Robertson and Sadio Mane were on the same wavelength, the visitors struggled to contain Liverpool through the left-hand-side.
