Sadio Mane scored four of the Saints' five goals against Liverpool in three league and cup meetings in 2015-16. They had now won six and lost six of their 15 games against opponents in the top-half of the Premier League in this season.

Comments:

League position: 9th This was the first time that Liverpool had lost a league game after leading 2-0 at half-time since 29 August 1964 (2-3 at Blackburn Rovers in League Division One). [c/o LFC Match by Match] This was the third time the Reds had lost an away game in the Premier League after leading by two goals (also 4-3 at Leeds United in 2000 and 3-2 at Queens Park Rangers in 2012). [c/o Infostrada] Simon Mignolet saved Sadio Mane’s 49th minute penalty. He had now saved three of the last five penalties he had faced in the Premier League.
