The winger was once again impressive as Liverpool drew with Tottenham Hotspur.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Jamie Redknapp has hailed Sadio Mane’s display in Liverpool’s draw with Tottenham Hotspur.

The Reds travelled to White Hart Lane on Saturday looking to bounce back from last weekend’s disappointing defeat to Burnley.

Things were going well for them too as a James Milner penalty had handed them the lead in the game.

However, a Danny Rose goal saw Spurs draw level and with neither side able to find a winner they were forced to share the points.

Mane was once again impressive for Jurgen Klopp’s team, putting in a typical all action, energetic display, with him unfortunate to see a goal ruled out for offside.

And Redknapp has hailed his performance, saying the winger was breathless.

“I was so impressed by his performance, certainly first half,” he told Sky Sports.

“What he brings is pace, energy and desire. Everything you would want from your players. He was always involved and always looking to pass forward. He was breathless.”

Mane has certainly made an impressive start to life at Liverpool, with him now looking like one of their key players.

Many an eyebrow was raised when they paid close to £40 million for his services but so far he has more than lived up to that price tag.

Indeed, if he continues as he has and helps the Reds into a top four place, that price may look like something of a bargain by the end of the season.
