Saido Mane scores Liverpool's first goal of the afternoon

ROBERTO FIRMINO put in a game-changing performance to help Liverpool maintain their perfect record at the top of the Premier League.

The striker was named on the bench having spent the International break with Brazil in the United States, but was called upon towards the end of the first half following an injury to Divock Origi.
