Liverpool scored two goals in the match but both of them were scored from on the line and in a similar fashion. One goal was when James Milner passed the ball to Sadio Mane, and he dribbled past and shot it inside while standing on the line of the 18-yard-box.

Later in the second half, Mane gave a pass to Roberto Firmino and he shot the ball inside the net, while again standing on the line of the penalty area.

The co-incidence of it is quite surprising and funny, as two goals in a similar fashion and from the same area in the same match are rare to see.

The two goals by both the players helped Liverpool win the second successive game, as they vie to win the title this summer.
