The Liverpool and Senegal man Sadio Mané provided the vital winner for the Reds last night at Villa Park against their former midfielder and now manager of Aston Villa Steven Gerrard. Liverpool went behind at the start and there was a lot of nerves around the stadium from the Liverpool fans.
It was a vital win to keep the pressure on rivals Manchester City who take on Wolves this evening at the Molineux and game that Manchester City dare not to lose, otherwise the Anfield will be level on points with City and massive pressure going into the final two games..
