August 19, 2017

Sadio Mane got Liverpool’s Premier League season up and running with the only goal as they laboured to a 1-0 win over bogey team Crystal Palace.

The Senegal international stabbed home in the 73rd minute after starting the move from wide on the left to finally break the visitors’ resistance.

Frank de Boer’s side looked more composed in defence after being beaten by Huddersfield 3-0 at home on the opening weekend, and the Eagles will take away positivies from Anfield despite a second defeat on the trot,
