Sadio Mane delivers at the death for Liverpool in Merseyside derby

Everton 0 Liverpool 1: Liverpool, previously such a free-scoring power, had to wait until the 95th minute for the Sadio Mane goal that ensured Jurgen Klopp’s first game at Goodison Park ended in a victory which lifted them into second place in the Premier League.

In a dramatic finale to a game of few chances, Daniel Sturridge’s power created space for a shot which struck the foot of the right-hand post and was tapped in from six yards by Mane, although, until that point, the main issue had been another referee failing to show a red card.

For Craig Pawson and Marcos Rojo at Crystal Palace last week, read Mike Dean and Ross Barkley last night, as the Everton midfielder’s stamp above the ankle of Jordan Henderson on 67 minutes was punished only by a yellow card when he should have been dismissed.
