‘Diving Mane proved point to pathetic Pep’ – Liverpool showed class against Man City’s ‘spoilt kids’, says Aldridge

The ex-Reds striker was delighted to see Jurgen Klopp’s side get the job done against the Blues, but is looking for even more from the league leaders

Sadio Mane proved a point to Pep Guardiola by shoving “pathetic” comments from the Manchester City boss back down his throat during Liverpool’s 3-1 win over the Blues, says John Aldridge.

During the build-up to a top-of-the-table clash at Anfield, the manager of the defending Premier League champions had suggested that a rival forward goes to ground a little too easily.

Mane had the last laugh on the back of that jibe, with the Senegal international scoring a diving header to put the finishing touches on a priceless win for Liverpool.
