Explained: Why Sadio Mane is back to his best

Sadio Mane’s outstanding form is a product of him once again being able to utilise his ‘immense physicality’, Jürgen Klopp believes.

Liverpool’s No.10 has scored four goals in his last four appearances and was named Player of the Match following his decisive double in Saturday’s Emirates FA Cup semi-final win over Manchester City.

Having operated on the left of the front three for the majority of his Reds career, Mane - who, since January, has cemented his legendary status with Senegal by inspiring his country to Africa Cup of Nations glory and World Cup qualification - has regularly been deployed at centre-forward since the arrival of Luis Diaz at Anfield.
