Sadio Mane Apologises for Handball After Liverpool's 2-2 Draw with Sunderland

Liverpool forward Sadio Mane has apologised to the club's fans for giving away a late penalty in Monday's 2-2 draw against Sunderland at the Stadium of Light.

The Senegal international took to Twitter to say sorry to his fans after referee Anthony Taylor adjudged him to have handled the ball in the box in the 84th minute as he looked to deflect a late free-kick:

Not the best game to day for the team I'm sorry for the handball and see you all soon @LFC

His intervention meant the Black Cats were able to steal a point from the clash, while Liverpool now sit five points adrift of Premier League leaders Chelsea, who also have a game in hand.
