Lucky to be on the pitch? Sadio Mane's clumsy elbow on Kieran Tierney could have seen the Liverpool man heading for an early shower just THREE MINUTES into their win over Arsenal - where the striker had a starring role

Sadio Mane was instrumental once again for Liverpool in their 3-1 victory over Arsenal, but it appears he was lucky to be on the pitch for longer than three minutes.

The Senegalese was only booked for a clumsy elbow into the face of Kieran Tierney while battling with the Scot on the Liverpool right, but replays showed his punishment could easily have been more severe.

The incident came just a minute after he had gone in strongly on Hector Bellerin at Anfield, but his challenge immediately afterwards saw the Arsenal players surround referee Craig Pawson before he dished out a yellow card.
