'I was sure it was a goal' - Liverpool's Mane wasn't worried about his controversial Wolves winner

The Senegal international scored the only goal of the game at Anfield, after a lengthy spell of deliberation from the VAR

Sadio Mane says he wasn’t worried that his winning goal for Liverpool against Wolves on Sunday would be chalked off, as he was “sure it was a goal.”

Mane’s 42nd-minute finish was originally not given, as referee Anthony Taylor adjudged Adam Lallana to have flicked the ball on with his arm.

VAR confirmed, after a lengthy delay, that Lallana had instead assisted with his shoulder – though Wolves fans were left incredulous as Virgil van Dijk had appeared to handball earlier in the move.
