Behind the scenes: Sadio Mané’s first day at Liverpool

Liverpool 1-0 Aston Villa
An exciting watch from end to end, Liverpool were pressing the Villa team with all their lives, with the away side defending together as a strong unit. Sitting back mostly, Liverpool camped in the Villa half for most of the game, creating chances after chances which were not to be finished.
