The summit was tied in the first half with a relative lead in Chelsea’s favor, before things turned completely different with Andreas Christensen’s red card exit moments before the end of the first half.
Mane said: “It was a difficult game, particularly in the first half.”
And he added in his statements to Sky Sports after the game: “When Chelsea played with 10 players sent off, things got easier for us and in the second half we managed to create many opportunities, we scored two goals and we won well.”
“It was a great pass from Henderson, and when Christensen made the mistake, I knew he was going to get a red card. I told my colleague it was going to happen,” he added about the removal of the Chelsea defender.
And for his second goal, Kepa, the Chelsea goalkeeper, missed “We constantly practice these things when it comes to putting pressure on the goal, and when Kepa received the ball, I knew it would be difficult for him to find another option, and it was his misfortune to make this mistake.”
Mane sings about what Thiago Alcantara did in his first English Premier League appearance, “Not just me, but everyone knows what Alcantara can do,” he said.
“We are very fortunate to have Alcantara with us. He is a great player,” he added.
