What was the significance of Sadio Mane's goal against Norwich?
Here's Mane. And he doesn't miss. There is the breakthrough. It's taken 77 minutes here at Carrow Road and they've had to bring Sadio Mane on from the bench.
It was just a half-hour cameo for Sadio Mane as he returned from injury to give Liverpool a goal and all three points in this match at Carrow Road. Here he is with his captain Jordan Henderson and Jeff Shreves.
Sadio, Jordan, we had for the first time ever a winter break, but it's very much a case of normal service resumed today.
Yeah, we've had a good break, good week's training as well, so that was important because we knew that it would be difficult coming here, even though at the bottom of the league I think they still cause teams problems, they still play football, and they cause us one or two problems, but overall I thought it was another good performance in the end, and thankfully we got the goal to get the three points.
Sadio, was it double delight for you, back after three weeks out with a hamstring and your 100th goal in English football?
Really? Wow, thank you. Yeah, it was not easy because as a football player, everyone wants to play all the time, but you have to deal with it. I go and do some treatment and I work hard and I come back. But at the same time, our strong team and the boys... We've got a great job and, yeah, it's that we are Liverpool, we are a strong team and we're happy with our result today.
How did Liverpool perform after their winter break?
Norwich appealed for a foul, did you give them a little nudge? Is it foul? I don't think so. I think, yeah, I pushed him, which is normal in football, so I think it was a goal, in my opinion.
When Fabinho came on, did that give you more licence to get further forward?
A little bit, because obviously, if I'd come on, he went in the six and I went in the half, on the right, on the eight. But it's still dangerous on the counter-attack, so you've got to be wary of protection as well. But, yeah, I managed to get in the box a couple of more times. A few half chances to either set a goal or get a shot away, but overall, I think it was a tough condition for both teams. In the end, we've got to be delighted with the result.
How much did the conditions play a part today?
A little bit, you know. When it's windy, it always affects the game, but like I say, it's the same for both teams, you know, you've just got to get on with it. And like I say, we've just got to be delighted with the three points. There's still things we couldn't improve on, of course, but we've got to get ready for another big game midweek now.
What challenges did Norwich present to Liverpool during the match?
15 more points would see Liverpool win the title. Every time I ask you about this, you don't talk about it at all, you never go anywhere near it, but how close do you feel to achieving your target that you set out with at the start of the season?
Yeah, well, I think it was the target from the beginning. So I think at the same time, we're doing very well. And yeah, I think we still have one step. We will do everything possible as a team and carry on in the same way. And we'll see what's going to happen in the city.
Yeah, again, bored of me seeing it, but one step closer, game by game, just focus on the next game, another massive game for us coming up midweek in Champions League, so we've got to recover really quickly, but just keep doing what we've been doing all season, no need to change.
Well, it's fabulous stuff and your fans certainly on board with it. One more job for you, please, Jordan, for his cameo performance, alongside you as the man of the match.
Well done, mate.
Well done, guys, congrats.
Goal number one.
Man of the Match, Sadio Mane, almost went rogue there. We nearly got somebody saying something that they shouldn't, but we know that interview.
How did Mane's return from injury impact Liverpool's performance?
We know that answer from Jordan Henderson. It's going to come every week. It's one step closer and one step at a time. In reality, do they have to do that? As much as they're saying it, do they have to actually act it?
Listen, they know it's done. You know what I mean? And they deserve it. They've been so professional. They have so much quality. And when they need it, a moment of genius from what Mane produced today.
