What Sadio Mane did during AFCON trophy celebrations shows that Liverpool has never left him

On Sunday night, Sadio Mane and Senegal celebrated a second Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) triumph in five years after they defeéated hosts Morocco in the final.

The eventual scoreline of 1-0 after extra time doesn’t even begin to tell the whole story of a chaotic match in Rabat, with the ending to normal time being anything but normal.

Shortly after having a late goal harshly disallowed, the Senegalese players walked off the pitch in protest at a contentious penalty being awarded to their opponents deep into stoppage time.
