Twitter explodes as Sadio Mane special helps Liverpool beat Tottenham Hotspur and forces Manchester United back to 6th position

Liverpool recorded a comprehensive 2-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield courtesy of a Sadio Mane masterclass. The win helped Liverpool break into the top 4 of the Premier League once again and the Reds will stay there until Manchester City play later this week.

Mane returned to the starting line-up for Liverpool for the first-time ever since he went away on national duty with Senegal for the Africa Cup of Nations and his impact was almost instantaneous as he scored a brace within 3 first-half minutes to help his side gain an unassailable 2-0 lead. The former Southampton man should have had a 3^rd but was denied by Hugo Lloris.

Manchester United – who had won earlier in the day against Watford to move to 5^th in the league table – have dropped back again to 6^th position and Twitter couldn’t help but troll the Red Devils.

Here are the best tweets following Liverpool’s 2-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur:

Liverpool look a different proposition with Mané back in the side. 2 points currently separate 2nd from 6th.

Sissoko & Janssen on.

2-0 down, playing awfully, what to do? Bring on an ineffective mercenary and the lad who couldn't score in a brothel.

I said to Sadio What's that in your pocket? He said Huh? What are you talking about James? I said It's Ben Davies. It was so funny.

It took Manchester United 5 months to move from 6th to 5th. Meanwhile it only took Mane 30minutes to take them back to 6th.

Spurs being Spurs!

Don't understand why Spurs played with a diamond against a team that closes the space in the center as well as Liverpool do.

Spurs bring on the £30 million player, Moussa Sissoko.

Hahaha! £30 million. Jesus Christ.

Poch has only won one away game in 15 v rest of top six since arriving at Spurs. Reflects a bit of a ceiling they've hit, despite progress.

Demoralising defeat for Spurs, they're going to have to bounce back for their Europa League game they won't care about.
